Heart and Flaming Star Nebula


 
Edited

Appreciated your thoughts on the images.? I tried the "Foraxx" pallet for the first time.? Let me know what you think of Foraxx compared with the Hubble pallet.? All data captured in OSC and processed with a synthetic third channel.

Nice images. I prefer for Fornaxx pallette. However, I prefer less
color saturation.

But most astrophotoraphers use as least as much color saturation as
you have used.

Pretty images, though.

Ha. I was lost after "Appreciate your thoughts on the images."

I can say I like the red heart nebula the best though.?


 

Great work Greg!

The foraxx pallet is nice.

Wow.? All stunning images no matter the pallette!

cheers,

Hi Greg,

The RGB Heart is a very spectacular image.

I think I am missing something here though. Are you using Ha and OIII filters with an OSC camera?

Have a great day.

Bob


 

Hi Bob,

Good to hear from you.?

I'm using Antlia's dual narrow band filter with a OSC camera.? The bandwidth's are 5nm for Ha and Oiii.? I use the red channel as Ha, combine the blue and green channel for Oiii.? A third channel is synthesized with some pixel math.? The foraxx pallet and the pixel math is explained in the link below.? I do find it more interesting than hubble and so far all of you agree.



My first results with the dual narrow band filter were disappointing.? I was about to sell my OSC gear fund a mono setup.? With some practice and longer integration times the results have really improved and I'm happy with OSC for narrow band imaging.? Oscar's shot of the quintet did have me thinking about mono again..

I reprocessed my image of the pelican nebula in the foraxx pallet.? This was first light with the istar phantom fcl 140 and the back focus is off.? The nebula looks good but the stars are off.


 

A stunning image. I particularly like fine dark-lane detail. The star
colors look ok to me. The stars look like they're showing a small
amount of image rotation. Perhaps your polar alignment wasnt perfect.

Being a visual observer, I find the image far too oversaturated.
However, as a piece of art: stunning.
