Info Post







Since my processing technique gets better and weather doesn't give any support, I have reprocessed some older images. There is now star colors added and other processing is tweaked too.








Butterfly Nebula


In constellation Cygnus









Image is in HST-palette, (HST=Hubble Space Telescope)





from the emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.


Star colors are mixed from the NB channels, Red=H-a, G=O-III and B= 85%O-III + 15%H-a.










This image was one of my first targets imaged with narrowband filters.


It was a part of "Cygnus Trio" mosaic image, published by NASA as an APOD

Natural color composition from the emission of ionized elements, R=80%Hydrogen+20%Sulfur, G=100%Oxygen and B=85%Oxygen+15%Hydrogen to compensate otherwise missing H-beta emission. This composition is very close to a visual spectrum. 



Star colors are mixed from the NB channels, Red=H-a, G=O-III and B= 85%O-III + 15%H-a.
