Post by JML »


Here is my image of NGC281 taken on July 31, 2019.
Scope AT115EDT with 0.8 flattener
Mount CEM60
Camera ZWO1600MM Pro with ZWO LRGB and H alpha filters
H alpha 20 x 300sec
Lum 12 x 120 sec
RGB 12 x 60 sec

preprocessed, stacked and post-processed in Nebulosity. H alpha and red were averaged and combined with Lum, Blue and Green as an LRGB.

That's a nice PACMAN.

Since it's also in your AVATAR, I have to assume you love this nebula!

Actually the AVATAR was just something I was just trying out, I will find something more appropriate someday. The Pacman nebula was my last image that I shot and worked up. I wanted to see how the image upload procedure for this forum worked and to get some comments on the progress that I am making on using a mono camera.

Steve,

getting happier with the alignment of the layers, but still find that blue and red are not stacking perfectly. Any suggestions.
