Crescent and Soap Bubble Nebulae
This is my second, two dualband-filter project with my new rig - I had the opportunity of travelling to two Bortle ~4 locations the last two weekends and I really like how the details popped up, specially the Soap Bubble Nebula (bottom left, faint but I was happy to see it!). Roughly 10 hours of integration combining both dual band filters
Astrobin here https://app.astrobin.com/u/JFRParis?i=h3emip
Equipment and acquisition:
- OTA: Askar 71F
- Main camera: ASI585MC AIR
- Mount: Teseek 17
- Others: ZWO EAF, ZWO EFW
- Guiding: SVBony 30mm, ASI120MM Mini
- L-Ultimate (66 x 300 sec) and L-Synergy filters (56 x 300 sec)
- 20 flats, 25 darks, 25 bias for each filter
Processing (PI) using RC Astro tools and
- WBPP of both images, 2X drizzle
- SPFC, Multiscale gradient correction, SPCC, BlurX, StarX
- SetiAstro Perfect Palette Picker, statistical stretch, then curves transformation with different range and color masks, createHDR Image, NoiseX
- Stars from both filters: pixelmath addition, setiastro star stretch, manual curves to control saturation
- Star recombination with Pixelmath
- Final retouches in light room
