Description

My first image of the beautiful Heart & Soul nebulae with my mono camera and standard workflow:
  • 3 images in Halpha, SII and OIII taken
  • combined with pixelmath to a color image
  • Sirils new noise reduction tool applied
  • linear stretching
  • Modest GHS corrections applied
  • exported to TIF format
  • postprocessing in Rawtherapee: blackness, color saturation, more noise reduction,  contrast - all only small adjustments

I used the following pixelmath formula:
R: r*S + ~r*H, G: g*H + ~g*O, B: b*O + ~b*H, r=0.8, g=0.2, b=0.99
Tilt correction of the Epsilon 130-D was nearly perfect
I currectly have quite some guiding problems with my CEM70 mount. To my surprise they do not at all show in this image. This means that the PHD2 guiding tool is very sensitive in showing the slightest guiding variations. Good to know.
