Taken with a Skywatcher ED80 Refractor and Canon 500D at prime focus ( 600mm ) Baader Astrosolar Film Filter fitted to scope
This another narrowband image of the beautiful Rosette Nebula in Monoceros. This time with a synthetic green component created from a blend of the Ha data and double ionized Oxygen data (OIII).
The Ha was mapped to red, synthetic green to green and OIII mapped as the blue component.
Imaging details are as before with a focal reduced Skywatcher ED80 refractor and a ZWO1600MM cooled camera fitted wih Baader narrowband filters.
20x600s Ha
15x600s OIII
Many thanks for looking!

Having acquired a second hand Skywatcher 200P Newtonian and an EQ5 Pro, I thought I should try it out with a simple shot like this. Having discovered that Skywatcher T rings are larger than my Meade T ring (I really had assumed they were all the same) I await a new one. In the meantime I just held the camera up to the eyepiece aperture to take this.

Serra Negra ( Bortle 4) /São Paulo/Brasil . December/2019
This is a work in progress, I managed to get over 4 hours of Luminance completed last night, so this image is 101x150S Luminance frames
I went down to 150S as at 300S I was clipping the lights and the core of Bodes Galaxy would just burn out, but even at 150S I am picking up the IFN too
So here they are, my favourite couple, M81 and M82

1. Image frame Calibration against 101 Flat Frams, 101 Dark Frames and 250 BIAS Frames (SuperBias)
2. FrameSelector weighting performed
3. Star Alignment
4. Image Integration with Weighting
5. MMT on Background to reduce noise
6. Deconvolution
7. Histogram Transformation
8. HDR Multiscale Transformation
9. Unsharp Mask
I will set to acquire the same amount of frames in RGB in order to build the colour image
