It has been unusually cloudy this "winter" but I was able to squeak this one in. I've been sitting on the Ha data for a couple of weeks and finally got the RGB in on the last 2 clear nights with poor transparency. So I bring to you all... IC 405 the Flaming Star nebula Ocala, FL Constellation: Auriga 1,500 light years distant Imaged December 19, 2012, January 9 and January 10, 2013. RGB data: 6 minute exposure (each channel) stacked in DSS for a total of 3 hours Ha data: 15minute exposure stacked in DSS for a total of 4 hours. PS CS5 Orion 80mm EON Orion 50mm guide scope with SSAG QSI 683ws Losmandy G-11 with Gemini II Comments and suggestions are always welcome. For a higher resolution image please visit my web page.

You've managed to capture a lot of the wispy HA data on the outskirt of the nebula.

How do you combine Ha & RGB; is it another combine after combining each group separately?

Good details showing with the Ha data. Weather hasn't been very good this winter here in NC, either.

How do you combine Ha & RGB; is it another combine after combining each group separately? Thx I go about this by Starizona method. I am really dorking out on this now and I made a tutorial. The beginning of the tutorial explains how I use RegiStar and the middle to end is how I combine Ha and RGB. It is the first video linked here. Post Extras:       Pages: 1
