Dave,

This is truly an excellent image! Excellent work!

Quick question: is this an RGB using Ha for R or is it an LRGB with Ha used for L and R?

My AP1200GTO is supposed to be shipping tomorrow and, if so, we can start comparing notes and techniques within a week or so.

Please keep such gems coming!

Anthony.

Thanks for your kind comments Anthony.

This is a HA,G,B image with HA being used instead of the red channel.

As I was just using the (modified) DSLR for this I took two sets of images one with the HA filter and and another in normal colour. I just split the colour image into its components and dropped the red and replaced it with the HA frame.

Great news on the AP1200. I know were all looking forward to seeing you set the ultimate benchmark for the rest of us mere mortals to aspire to!!

I plan to get hold of a decent set of narrowband filters soon. It will be nice to try an image like the crescent nebula win HA, OIII, SII!!!

Regards and Clear Skies,

Dave.
