Hello,
I'm not even sure this is the
final version of this madness but I figured I better put something up...
a few notes:
Unlike many images from a CCD
this is a pure RGB... it was shot 1X1 100 minutes on the red, 100 minutes on
the green, and 160 minutes on the blue. Then it was done all over again for
the OTHER half of the frame. The red and green exposures were done in 10
minute increments, the blue in 16 minute increments... all of these were
reduced and then median combined. The final RGB's were combined in Registar as
16 bit RGB and the final image was extracted in PS.
I tried to keep the greens
from becoming too green... technically speaking they should have a bit more
blue in them but it's easier to see the green contrasted against the
red/magenta.
This was taken with the
William Yang 4" f/8 flourite and the ST10E camera over quite a few nights... I
learned a lot from this project... it's my first attempt with this set
up...
doing a mosaic requires additional
considerations.
Anyway, if you have survived
all this narration, here's the image:
Have a good
one,
Tony
