CCD Imaging & Processing finalist: MichaelW

Target: M1
Exposure: LRGB 40':Ha 120'
Location: Washoe Zephyr Observatory, Nevada
Sky Quality Meter reading: 20.33 @ 4*f
Date: 01/15/2007 & 01/16/2007
Time: 1900 - 2400 & 0000 - 0130
Camera: SBIG ST2000XM, AO-L, Astrodon MOAG, SBIG remote head
Temperature: -20c (practically not working at all )
Filters: Astrodon LRGB + 6nm Ha
Scope: Vixen VC200L @ 1800mm, 200mm f9
FOV: 16.9 x 22.6
Image Scale: .86
Mount: AP1200, not PEM trained yet. ~10 pixel +/- PE deviation @ .86 arc sec per pixel.
Reduction: Maxim DL, 12 darks median combined from library
Processing: Adobe PS CS2, levels and curves, dust and scratches, despeckle and very, very mild smart sharpen over the entire image.

I combined HaR and HaRL to create this image. HaR for the red layer, HaRL as luminance. Luminance layer was mixed at 40%. Much more and I began to wash out colors.

Unfortunately, I have to disqualify due to the image size being too large. 800 pixels wide is the max. I hate to do this because the image is pretty impressive for being done with a dob and I look forward to future submissions.
