Not many targets suited to narrowband available in my limited field of view at home this time of year, but I have been wanting to try this one. Only used Ha (9x5mins) and OIII (10x5mins), because as I started collecting RGB it was around meridian and decided to pack it in.

Blend is Ha:OIII:OIII. I know it's very red/blue. I did play with a synthetic green from Ha for red and OIII for blue, but wasn't happy with the colours. So many variables with this NB imaging.

Any tips on processing greatly appreciated.

I love the depth effect you get when you can see the shadowing.

Scope was 10" Newtonian, camera was QSI583ws.

Had a bit of a re-process. Not sure if it looks better or not, just implementing some new tricks I've learned. Very subtle.

oh wow, I thought it was a smaller chip then the 8300!!

I like the 2nd one better, bit more stretched out and shows some more detail in the Ha parts
