Sh2 187

Here's an image that has a months time and effort. The image is 40.25 hours total with 74 - 15 minute luminance images and 35 red, 29 green, and 25 blue 15 minute images binned 2x2. I used eXcalibrator to get the RGB ratio to use for the color balance and used in the LRGB Process to get the master RGB image. The full image can be seen here http://www.astral-imaging.com/Sh2-187-RC2.html

Thanks for looking.

Steve great data. I think you could stretch this a lot more.

Steve,

Great image!  You did an excellent job in preserving detail while processing the image.

Thanks guys.

The stretching is questionable depending on which monitor I use. The NEC Wide Gamut monitor makes the image too dark, at least as I'm told, so I process using the off the shelf monitor for  my website. Not sure where the middle ground is.

Excellent work Steve, star color is great. I also think there is more data that could be pulled out.
