Heart Nebula Data

[Burly]

If anyone would like to have a play with my Heart Nebula data feel free https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlYf19b9AD6Ce4GFpvj ... 8?e=i1z5VG i posted in gallery recently ,taken with a zwo533mc flats darks bias used 95x180 sec subs using a LExtreme filter using a 350mm fl refractor stacked using ASTAP. .

Thanks, Dave!

This is my take on it. Or, one possible take. There are any number of possible choices of course. I went with the H HO O bicolor, and fairly contrasty to try to reveal inner structure best I could, and also show a few scattered patches of dark space with stars.

Finding the right balance of bicolor is also always a bit tricky since the B and G are oft a bit noisier than the red, though perhaps less so here compared to an L-eN due to your L-eX.

Still...a bizarre-looking target as always. I'm not sure there's any good way to rotate it. Cropping is probably the only solution.

Good work Mike , always nice to see how others process your own data so thanks for that other than colouring similar to my result

Nice dataset

here's my rendition.
kept "classic" red and tried to pull some blue to contrast the center of the nebula.

Nice job Charles thanks for taking the time , switching to a dedicated cooled camera with no amp glow is definitely a game changer calibration gets a lot easier and makes processing easier especially using narrow band duo band filter.
