Hi, I want to share my most recent image IC1318 nebula. Now I have 2 imaging rigs in my observatory and I am becoming very productive! Let's hope the weather cooperates!

I couldn't push the blue channel (OIII) no matter what :(

I have a mixed feelings about this color  ;)
Did you use all 3 NB filters or just 2?

Hi Zocky!

Thanks a lot for commenting! The 3 filters are 5nm. It is really hard to pull OIII from that region! I swear I did my best!
