ASTRO: NGC7535
I'd taken the luminosity on this guy two years ago. I remembered (or
thought I did) taking color data the following year. I couldn't find it. So figured I was wrong. But with nothing to image here for weeks at a time thanks to clouds I've been going back to early data taken in moonlight that I can now process. In one such folder of an ARP galaxy I found the color data for this object I'd taken last year after all. Just badly misfiled. Though I quickly found it was also taken in moonlight. With it I found new luminosity data as well. It too was in moonlight. But at 80 minutes instead of 30 I decided to use it as it went a bit deeper even with the moonlight. It's obvious this needs a dark night as there is a red HII glow through the entire image. There's a nice dark nebula at the upper right but it barely shows due to the moonlight. The blue frames were really hit hard by the moon. When I subtracted out the moon I lost so much blue the nebula was very rosy red rather than the more proper HII pink color. So I added back a bit of the red and green channel into the blue. So this is pseudo color at best but at least it isn't the deep red I had originally. The green seems to have made it a bit orange. Oh well -- there's always next year. With HII as well. At least it was something to process. 14" LX200R @ f/10, L=8x10' RGB=2x10', STL-11000XM, Paramount ME Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |

Rick, very nice picture of NGC 7538. Colour looks good in spite of the
"fixed" blue frame. Stefan "Rick Johnson" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... I'd taken the luminosity on this guy two years ago. I remembered (or thought I did) taking color data the following year.
