NGC2070 - Hubble Palette - Draft processing

NGC2070 R:G:B SII:HA:OIII 100:100:100 20mins sub

Finally managed to collect some Oxygen and Sufur data for NGC2070. Not much but enough to add some colour into the image. Did a rough processing to see what's available. I still need to get Luminance for this target.

Focal Length = 1600mm (RC8)
Image Scale 0.7 arcsec/pixel (QHY9)
Sensor Temp = -15°C

NGC2070

I've done very little imaging since acquiring the new CCD camera and RC8. Have been very busy doing up my backyard, it's no longer a weed infested, dusty sandpit. At least, I now feel more comfortable taking my imaging gear out onto the limestone pavement instead of the sand.

I've put all the gear back together with some new additions like the shiny new moonlite focuser!! and as usual it took me few weeks to re-climb the learning curve of astrophotography.

The NGC2070 is about 3 hours worth of Hydrogen Alpha in 20 minute subs. Most subs thrown out due to guiding and focus issues. I still need few more nights under the stars to sort things out.
