Hello Everyone, Here's a wide field shot of the Horsehead in B&W Ha. I think I like this more than the color version, also linked on the page. B&W seems to...
Nicely done, Bob! Great depth and detail in the nebulosity. As it so happens, I was in the process of posting my version of the Horsehead and Flame when...
Here is a Hubble palette version of the Horsehead and Flame nebula region to complement the Ha and RGB versions just posted by Bob Franke. I hope you enjoy...
Excellent image John. This is the best I have seen with the Hubble palette. I searched the Internet and didn't find any that had much OIII data. I did a...
Thanks, Bob. I appreciate the positive feedback. You are right, there is not much OIII, but enough in and around the Flame to alter its color as compared to...
That's a very interesting image, showing the separate filtered data plus the finished RGB combine. I may start adding this type of data to my web site. Good...
I use an EL panel with a variable DC supply to control brightness. I stll use my double 'T' shirt at the front though it is probably quite unnecessary....
... NEU" Hello John" Your second image has convinced me I must image the Flame Nebula in Hubble Pallette this year! There's lots of signal in narrowband...
Thanks, Glenn and Kevin for your kind words and enthusiasm. There is a lot of beauty out there. Enough for all who will make the effort to capture it. ...
Hi all, a pic from last weekend C8/GP + focal reducer 0.5 optec + Ha SII OIII astronomik filters + atik16HR autoguiding with fs60 refractor in piggyback and...
Howdy, Finally, at least one of my filters arrived late last week. With a brilliant night last night, I thought I'd have a go with one filter. I chose NGC3372...
Hello Gary, welcome to the narrowband world. This is a very good start, but the image really has too much contrast. There is a lot of detail in those dark...
Hello Bob, Thanks for your comments! I really am a newbie at all of this, and very self taught. Its a long way from being a mechanic to an astro photographer,...
Hi Gary, Here's a page on my web site explaining non linear stretching. http://bf-astro.com/non-linearCurves.htm Bob Franke http://bf-astro.com ... an ... one ...
Barnard's Loop: http://www.ancientstarlight.com/Barnards_Loop.html I have been trying to image Barnard's through a long series of scopes and cameras over the...
Hello Drew, I really like it! A great start on a monumental effort. I encourage you to complete Barnard's loop at this resolution. It will be superb. ...
Hi Ed, You've been busy, and a definite improvement from first to last.....I especially like M104...I always like shots of this one. When you use a camera lens...
Hello all, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â I was trying to construct a tri-colour image in the Hubble palette, and I have noticed that the stars are quite red and some of...
Yes, Gray. You are seeing the effects from the fact that we all tend to stretch the SII and OIII more so than the Ha - resulting in magenta halos around most...
