Hi Group!, It has been some time almost 2 yrs ago that I imaged this beauty with my st402. Still doing some refinements with new equipments but with good results. I hope you like it and Clear Skies to All.

Lum 19min, Ha 97min, RGB 30min.

New Image Added with a 12% of Ha added to the Blue channel (more Ha(red) in the background). recommended by Terry Tuggle at Sbig Group so i gave it a try so tell me what you think.

Blue channel modyfied (slightly).

You were up early! Just too low for my seeing. I'll leave it for you more southern folk. Glad to see the weather has been cooperating with your new scope and it is avoiding the cloudy sky jinx!

Yes i was, And gave it a try after finishing a session on a different subject and on this night finished the last data for m16 with these results. And the clouds rolled in with rain .
Just posted a different version with more Ha and a different method in processing.
Clear Skies my friend.

Part three, Processed under low light and calibrated my monitor, More hydrogenated slightly and final .

Hi Efrain,
This is some of your best work. Well done! Nice color balance with the Ha, which is not easy.

Thanks Matt, This method might not work for all nebulaes but it sure help on this one avoiding over saturation.
