Moon in Narrowband
« on: 2014 November 17 12:26:04 »
I had trouble posting this image a few days ago but I've reprocessed it anyway. This is the last full moon imaged in OIII and SII based on a technique posted by Mike Oates recently. Would love to get some feedback. I imaged this with an FSQ 106 at prime focus and an FLI 16000M.

Thanks

Albert

Interesting choice of filters. I like the result.

Thanks Zocky. I failed to mention I used Pixel Math to make this into RGB mapping SII to red, OIII to blue and .5SII + .5OIII for green.

Albert,

Great shot.  Love the way your choice of NB mapping highlights the rays from all the different craters.  Beautiful work.

Best,

Jim
Really, are clear skies, low wind and no moon that much to ask for?

Albert,

Just out of curiosity, how long were your individual subframe iterations?

I believe OIII was .06 and SII was .05 or the reverse :)
