Subject: [AZ-Observing] NGC 281 - Hubble Palette
Hello all,
With the mono camera and narrowband filters, every clear night is an imaging
opportunity. The 3nm bandpass of the are definitely far less affected by
moonlight and light pollution than normal broadband filters.
In early/mid August I took advantage of those qualities to capture data for
my first attempt at a Hubble Palette false color image. Data captured with
the Sulfur II filter is mapped to the red channel. Similarly, Hydrogen Alpha
is mapped to green and Oxygen III is mapped to blue. It makes for some
surreal looking results.
So here's the image: http://www.astrobin.com/full/18016/?mod=none
And here's the details:
**
*Date:* August 9th to 19th, 2012
*Location:* Goodyear, Arizona
*Sky Quality* Suburban Light Pollution - ZLM 5.2
*Telescope:* Explore Scientific ED127CF Refractor - 127mm f/7.5 Carbon Fiber
Triplet
*Mount:* Astro-Physics AP900GTO CP3
*Camera:* SBIG ST-8300m and SBIG FW8-8300 filter wheel
*Guiding:* SBIG ST-i Mono and SBIG OAG-8300 off-axis guider
*Exposure:* 10.5 hours *(Ha: 9 x 30 min 1x1, OIII 9 x 20 min 2x2, SII 9 x
20 min 2x2)*
*Capture:* CCDAutoPilot 5 & Maxim DL 5.18 *Calibration & Processing:*
PixInsight 1.7 I hope you enjoy.
Thanks,
Mike
