hi guys,

actually this is my very fist attempt ever to utilize h-alpha data.
I have chosen M57 which I have recetnly imaged as an LRGB.


I was lucky to have one clear night for acquisition of H-alpha data.
3 hours h-alpha in 2x2 binning mode.
(I'd love to do that in 1x1 but weather is no partner here...)


as soon as weather improves, I'd like to do some more luminance with
the 2x powermate and also I'd love to add much more h-alpha data.


data and all images (full size and an enlarged crop) are on my
website.


I'd be greatful for any suggestions and comments on this one:

Hi Diets
That is excellent, it has really brought out the detail in the outer halo of the nebula and if I am not mistaken you can also see a much fainter red halo outside this as well, brilliant image
Best wishes
Gordon

...thanx Mahesh and Gordon!

Hi Dietmar, An Awesome image! the extra channel on Ha really shows the hidden details on this nebula very sharp and more detail shows also on the galaxy too. Outstanding and Clear Skies.

That's beautiful and the additional nebular detail is great. Fascinating.

Hi Diets!

Very clear and so pretty.

Looks like an eye with "sore eyes".

Just kidding!

They are beautifully taken.

Thanks for sharing .
