Over the past few months I've been upgrading my gear. Now shooting with Tak FSQ-106EDX4 on a 10Micron GM1000HPS with the ASI6200MC Pro – what a great combo!

 

This is the Heart Nebula taken over 7 nights, kept about 70% of the subs for a total exposure time of 26.7 hours. For these I used the Radian Triad Ultra Quad-Band filter at Gain 100.

I noticed some issues with tilt on the large sensor, but recently got a Gerd CTU and will try to work that out for the next project.

 

I was going for a "natural" look here, so did minimal processing, but did make stars smaller to let the nebulosity stand out a bit more.

 

Let me know what you think!

I'll tell you what I think...fantastic! lol! Beautiful image...I love how you processed it and I got lost just wandering around the full size image. Really nice job...

Imaging doesn't get much better than this ! Inspirational ! Thanks for not hubble -paletteing this beautiful image .

Inspirational is a great way to describe this one.  VERY nicely done, and thank you for sharing the results of your hard work.  Images like this keep people like me working to improve.  

 

I look forward to the day I can produce something like this!

Amazing, looks like it came straight from the HST

Thanks everyone! Appreciate it.

I am absolutely awed by your image!

As you said, it has a very natural look and that is not so

easy using a Triad filter. But of course you are using the Quad

band version which is way better then the one I use ( first version ).

Roaming through the full resolution image is marvelous.

Great job is the least I can say 

 

Stay well,

Mert

Splendid image paps, great processing.

Wow that's crisp!  I love the tight focus you have achieved.  Not to start a mono vs. OSC debate, but absolutely crisp!

 

Clear skies!

Craig.
