hi friends,

this is a re-processed version of that PN in taurus I posted a couple
weeks ago.
this time, it is a collaboration with Andras Dan, a hungarian friend
of mine, who has collected some narrow-band data with his 10" SC
f6.3; SXV H9 and Astronomik O3 filter.
6x15 minutes. gemini 42 EQ mount - direct drive system.
Andras is the head of Gemini: www.astronomy.hu

Andras let me kindly process this data to use it in addition to the
image I had already processed.

I used:
9" TMB Apo f/18 with a barlow lens and SXV H36
9" TMB Apo f/9 and M25C f/9 for color.

the O3 signal was too weak to use it a decent green channel,...nbut
strong enough for another additional luminance channel .

so here is the result of the cooperation of Andras and me:
PLEASE make sure to scroll down and navigate to the links that lead
to the newer versions:

thanks for taking another look!
best regards,

Dietmar + Andras

I wouldn't have thought that excellent image could be improved. Seems even sharper now with more detail. Narrow band does seem to increase fine detail. I only have Ha so far. Need to add a second filter wheel for narrow band filters. I wish I had seeing like that! Once or twice a year is about all that happens here.

A Great joint effort on a allready beautiful image, Simply awesome! Clear Skies my friend.

Wow! This image keeps getting better and better. The detail in the nebula is remarkable.
