An area I have always known of but never looked at it . So for every body benefit what follows is a look at the process. Remember this a B/W camera with different coloured filters, you will note that while they are all B/W the detail in each is very different to the rest. RCW 38 is 100% center of shot A star forming region of space..... Remember this is all new to me as well as I feel my way.
Ha shows up the Hydrogen in the shot and as the most abundant element out in space, the Ha shot has the most detail.
SII shows up the sulphur component in the shot
O3 shows up the Oxygen component in the shot. In this shot you can see why I have purchased a new set of narrow band filters the huge halo on the big star.
The Narrow band stars and why you have a better chance with RGB stars
Once Combined in Pixinsight in what order depends the colours you get this is Combined in the Hubble pallet SII Ha O3
3: 30 hours of stacking all the shot at the same time, 1:30 H in editing to get this shot quite a lot of the process on my old computer take 5 min or more to run, this is why the time for editing is so high. You can see why this is so popular as a way of shooting the stars far more detail and finer detail than a normal colour camera.
Close by is the Vela Super Nova Area

next came the idea what is out there.
Here we are 5 years later
As you say just a very average Joe in the city the gear is still simple compare to the huge telescopes in my fathers book but on finding the book my images are far better.
One thing I am doing is continuing to learn not matter what and pushing my own boundaries... Many thanks glad you are also still enjoying the Image That show up from time to time.
