Re: [APML] Central Auriga in Ha + Film

Tom that looks great. You picked up alot of the nebulosity between IC405 and IC410. My all film image shows it faintly only.

Thank you Phil, Rob, & Chris for your comments. I reworked the image and, hopefully, improved it. You can check it out if you wish using the link below. I had attempted to combine the Ha and film data in a number of ways (blending the Ha & R channels, converting to LAB color and substituting the Ha for L) but the luminance layering still gave the best overall results. It is hard to retain the star colors throughout. I may need even more color data.

By the way, I use a Polaroid Sprintscan 120 (with glass holder) for all of my scanning.

Tom, terrific nebulosity, I love the color you've gotten on them, a nice pinky Halpha. The stars are sort of funny. I cant quite put my finger on it, but they appear either greenish or black and white or something.

Hello,

I finally had the opportunity to obtain some photos to add to my Ha mosaic of Central Auriga. This has always been one of my favorite areas of the sky.

I'd appreciate any comments or critiques (especially regarding the color balance).
