Hey Group, I've been experimtenting with some SLR lenses for narrowband. I took an unguided, 10 minute sub of 2 targets with an old Petri 200mm F 3.5 SLR lens...
I am about to attempt to image with this filter.I also have an Astronomik UHC filter which gives me mostly red and blue ...(?) Ant advice on what I might...
I made a couple versions of it with more boost to the low end nebula. I just did not like it so I went with this one. Have to wait and see how it turns out...
Hope that everyone is doing well – It was good to have some clear skies in Georgia for awhile. I was able to get a little over 16 hrs of imaging time on...
I like your coloration!    Well done...Neil www.flemingastrophotography.com Direct from Boston - brilliant diamonds in pea soup Also check out the...
Ah Yes... as the galaxy seasons wanes, the narrowband guys start to come out. Excellent job Paul, that's a very pleasant color balance. Is there a plan to...
Very nicely done Paul. Beautiful color! Clear skies, Kevin Dixon www.kevindixon.westhost.com From: Paul Tankersley Hope that everyone is doing well - It was...
I am about to "stick my toes in" and try M27 with this filter (Astronomik's version...) I have been having EXCELLENT results with there "UHC" filter (in...
Had a break in the clouds after some months to allow me to take the Sii data under three quarter moon, Ha and Oiii where captured some months ago. Images taken...
Neil, the processing was done using the Hubble palette, stacked and stretched in IP and coloring was done in PS-C3. Cheers Eddie ... [Non-text portions of this...
Hello Eddie, You obviously know how to collect hours (14 or so I believe) of quality narrowband data. Rather than simply say that your resultant image is...
Hi John, Yes I do prefer constructive criticism as I believe it's one of the best way to improve. I wanted to explore a more red/yellow overall look. Keeping...
Eddie, I prefer the first rendition to the traditional hubble palette. However, I agree with John about the background. I found it a little distracting in both...
David, Thank you for your comments and suggestion, I've been playing around trying to tone done the background, I'm still on a steep learning curve with PS so...
Hi all :) I am just about to get into narrowband imaging, but am looking for some advice. Last year I bought a set of Astronomik filters but they caused nasty...
I've been fiddling and fiddling with this and now I've arrived at a state where I've either really got a nice sharp image, or I've really enhanced the noise...
Have you a full-sized version somewhere, Chris? Hard to tell at this scale, but there may be some mottling in the medium-faint areas. Regards...Neil ...
Thanks for the quick reply Neil. This should resolve to the original image (png anyway). The fact that you mentioned mottling makes me think that I have indeed...
Hi Chris, Yes, this is showing signs of being over processed. I think you are trying for too much contrast. I am also seeing evidence of over sharpening,...
Bob, thank you very much too for replying. I agree with the too much contrast assessment. It was more sharpness that I was shooting for but through contrast...
Arran, all available narrowband filters, even 3 nm FWHM, will work just fine at f/5, so the decision comes down to other factors. If you live in a light...
