M27 - NII, Ha, OIII

Posted By Mike Unsold
Finally got 3nm NII data of M27 to use with the Ha and OIII image of M27 that
was posted two weeks ago. 3nm NII contains a lot more detail in the core of M27
than 3nm Ha so the NII data was layered on top of the red data of the M27 Ha and
OIII image using lighten or max blend mode. Additional details posted with the
image.

Saturn first try crude picture though

Posted By Mike Unsold
Hi Mark

Your first saturn image is pretty good. Stacking
50-100 images of this quality would really smooth
out the noise. Critical focusing and excellent seeing
would then yield a great saturn image.

Sbig STV- Deluxe Review

Posted By Mike Unsold
The STV is the best autoguider on this planet. I use one with my AP 1200 GTO. Takes a couple of minutes to calibrate,
go to the objest, then just press the track button for superb long exposure tracking.

Saturn again

Posted By Mike Unsold
Its a lot smoother. Try to grade them using Cassini's division to judge and stack only the best grade.

I would suggest an iterative restoration to then sharpen.

question on summing images

Posted By Mike Unsold
You need to sum the images into a 32 or 64 bit buffer then
scale the sum back to 16 bit to avoid the washed out image.

Some programs allow this others don't.
