Reprocessed some data from last year. RedCat 51 (250mm, 2in), ASI294MM Pro, ZWO 7nm filters, CEM26
SHO* nebula with RGB stars, Bortle 4, ~55h total integration
*color combination: SHO = 0.6; DREAMSPLEASE = 0.2; CHE = 0.7; FORAXX = 0.2; CHESTNUT = 1
Processed in Pixinsight with final composition in Photoshop

Delightful
If I go mono it will be interesting to see just how much I could get out of my Z61.

Hope you do. Mono is awesome. A lot more work obviously (6 channels!) but the results are more than worth it.

Planetary nebula?
Not sure, gonna have to ask PixInsight
Could even be problem with my OIII data, who knows lol

Pix didn't show anything there when i annotated

Looks like it's supposed to be these stars.
slow python
here's the ha and OIII channels
I think it might be a blurX/denoise artifact because my OIII was quite noisy
Ha resolves the stars but OIII doesn't
native rampart
That 100% makes sense
slow python
moral of the story, get more data 😄
native rampart
Wait how much integration on OIII?
slow python
Wait how much integration on OIII?
12 hours
the ZWO OIII filter is not the greatest I think
native rampart
Oh so the majority was Ha and maybe SII?
slow python
yeah Ha gets the detail
native rampart
Mmm yea, OIII on that target seems to be faint anyway
slow python
basically SHO (in various combinations) + Ha as lum
also, I don't use OIII for stars, I shoot RGB seperately and shorter; which misses very faint stuff
lemme pull up RGB
stars are there but faint, so it's just overlaid on the blotch that wrongly emerges out of the OIII
native rampart
I picked up some Ha on this target with my Nikkor 200mm f4, I kinda want to get an OIII filter just to see what kind of HOO images I can pull off with my DSLR lol.
Although it may not be better than separating channels with my l-enhance idk
slow python
I think chances of discovering something with the RedCat are near zero, it doesn’t have the resolving power for small nebula and for larger objects you want a faster scope. Maybe if you do like 1,000h on something you could see a new OIII nebula or something.

I want to shoot this area with my f/4 newt. 🙂

do it 🙂

it clears my roof at about midnight. monday and tuesday night are looking clear. i would get about 8hrs on it that way.
you can shoot Ha in twilight, right?

photoshop-fixed it

This is beautiful man!!! And the detail is really good

Well right now it’s cloudy every night (storm season), but we do get about 80-90% cloudless nights here in southern Arizona
