Pencil Nebula NGC 2736

This is what I have slowly been working towards. This is a Narrow Band Photo of the Nebula But a RGB set of stars on top. RGB stars are in effect the normal stars you get when you take a photo with a one shot colour camera or a DSLR. the Narrow Band stars all very different colours whereas RGB stars look more natural. The other thing you can see the rainbow effect that the solid front spider gives to the flares on the star.

 

 

The key is to have all the files stack together so they are the same size work on the narrow band throw away the stars. Work on the RGB throw away the background combine the Narrowband Nebula and the RGB stars to make the final photos.

 

This has used all the filters to make the two photos to make one. The big advantage of this is the amount of detail that the Narrow band filters bring out than you get with a One shot colour camera. Is it all worth it on my screen it sure is but I also have more days clear than most to be able to do it.
