Bob, You can certainly shoot the horsehead with a Hubble Pallet though as you have found, the Ha will be the predominant wavelength. I found that mine came...
Hello Bob, You are correct. There is not much OIII around the horsehead, but it does modify the color tonal qualities of the other emissions and it can...
Hello all I'm interested in a modest up grade to the camera I am presently using, an Atik ATK-16 which utilizes an anti-blooming Sony ICX-429ALL EXView...
Hi Jim, I have the ST402ME. It is easy to use and is very sensitive in the H-alpha region. It has limited cooling capability, however. In the summer months,...
Hi Kevin. In my particular case, I'm very interested in imaging dark globules, columns and emission nebulae details, so bright stars may not typically be a...
Jim I can recommend the QHY8/QHY453 from Starizona or CCD-Labs. It is most sensitive in the H-alpha region and is anti-blooming. It is a one shot color so...
Neil and Kevin, Thanks for the kind words. I need to get some better [OIII] data; the light gradient in the [OIII] exposures was hard to deal with. I guess...
Jim I also have a ST-402 and while I use it for guiding I have put a Ha filter on the front of the camera and have not noticed excessive blooming in Ha. With...
Hi Kevin I rather suspected that blooming would be less of an issue with H-alpha imaging and your comment supports my leaping assumption. The simple filter...
I have always found this object absolutely amazing....mysterious...totally alien. Really pleased with this image. Shot with an Atik ATK-16 and Stellarvue 4...
Hello Everyone, I am thinking about writing an article about false color narrow band astrophotography. I am trying to find out who may be given credit for ...
Very well done, Jim! A shot of which to be proud! Regards...Neil www.flemingastrophotography.com Direct from Boston - brilliant diamonds in pea soup ...
I'm told that it was Russ Crowman who brought color band narrow filtered imaging into the mainstream when he authored the chapter that was published in Ron...
Thanks for checking Neil, However, it looks like it's a toss up between Richard Crisp and Russ Croman. After looking at the two web sites, Russ was collecting...
You're most welcome. I think that Don Goldman was also one of the earliest participants. I'd hafta guess he saw something of value, because his filter sets...
It was close but the VERY first image narrowband posting was by Russell Croman on 6/9/2003: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SBIG/message/59954 Then the next...
I hope I didn't start up a contest here, but deeper examination of Richard Crisp's web site shows he was doing this in 2001. He has an M27 image with Ha,OIII &...
Is this discussion just focused on who was the first amateur to do tricolor NB? If not, my bet is that when it comes to pioneers, those were the pros making...
Yes, amateurs was the intent of my question. It looks like the HST team was doing this all along. The link below is for press release October 4, 1990 12:00...
Hi guys, I am tickled pink.... I have been fussing with elongation at long FL's with almost any exposure longer than two or three minutes....the longer the...
Congrats', Bud, on tracking down the flexure thing. Nice round stars now. Now, what are you going to do about the weather in your parts? Cheers Jim Livermore...
I have been lurking in the group for awhile now, in anticipation of capturing my first narrowband images. I am a newbie imager and have learned quite a bit...
Doug, first of all, great start...you're well on your way! A little more data and you've nailed it. Unfortunately, you're running afoul of a problem that...
Thanks Neil. And my apologies to the group. That was certainly not the type of introduction I had intended! I just noticed that this was a problem for others...
Hello all Just finished NGC281 in narrow band using 9.25SCT scope and ST2K camera. Wanted to get a close up. This is three nights of shooting. Go to new images...
