Here is my latest project. I acquired nearly 114 hours on this target. I used my Esprit 120 with a 0.65x reducer, at F/4.55. Using a ZWO ASI294mm Pro and ZWO filters. All from my backyard.
Integration details:
Ha: 129x600s
S2: 258x600s
O3: 278x600s
R,G,B: 60x60s (each)
Thanks for looking!
The Soul Nebula by Jaxon Taylor, on Flickr
Beautiful Jaxon!
I hope you took some time out from processing to eat some turkey!
I’m adding this to my outreach slideshow!
Hope you didn’t stay up the whole time, lol! Great work, thank you for sharing 
Jaxon,
You have a keen eye to have found bigfoot lurking in the image. It took me several minutes to find him.
BTW, beautiful work.
So, you’re saying Bigfoot is an ET?
Jaxon, I have a new “secret” technique to add some bonus LUM to narrowband images. I’d love to see what it can do to your data. I figure, might as well share it here. All i need is your SHO master files, I keep them in mono, I use registar to align them, then I do an “Average Combine”, I then edit this “LUM” file to give it POP, and then I layer this file on top of the SHO color file in Photoshop and blend as a Luminosity layer and blend opacity that looks natural. It’s really a difference-maker.
I decided to retry this and change the color mapping for the narrowband images. I think I like this color mapping more. What do you guys think?
I do like both myself. Thinking of maybe a transition gif between the images would be cool.
They’re both beautiful. Hard to choose.
2nd version is really good. Well done
Amazing image! Did you really need that much integration time for this nebula?
