NGC 7023 - Iris Nebula16 viewsA very nice reflection nebula in Cepheus, this is a mix of dark nebulae and the bright star in the middle which lights up the surrounding gas like a massive flashlight.
This image consists of 12x3.5x3.5x3.5 hours of LRGB data for a combined total of 22.5 hours of exposure time.

Sharpless 2 - 869 viewsA large diffuse nebula in Vulpecula, this image is a culmination of 14.5 hours of data in Hydrogen Alpha, Red, Green, and Blue wavelengths. Specifically 7x2.5x2.5x2.5 hours in HaRGB.

The Crescent Nebula35 viewsThis is almost 24 hours of data on an elusive target that I've been chasing for YEARS. I leveraged an approach of blending Ha (narrowband data) in my R, G, and B channels here to bring out the reds without squashing the colors. I'm happy with the results!

IC 1871111 viewsThis is a small portion of the larger SH2-199 nebula. I've always particularly liked this area and have wanted to image it in LRGB vs. integrating any Ha data into the photo, as most astrophotographers choose to do. This came out a little "flatter" than I expected, but overall I think it shows up some nice features and the color is very true. The red isn't overwhelming or "pink" like you see with most HaRGB images.

VDB 14290 viewsThis is a really nice dust formation in the constellation Cepheus. There is a lot going on in this exposure, which is comprised of 12 hours of data, 9x1x1x1 hours of LRGB data.

|
VDB14266 viewsThis is a closeup of the "keyhole" in this nebula that I find really interesting. This is simply a full resolution crop of my wider shot of this object.

|
M57 - Ring Nebula123 viewsThis is an extremely deep exposure of the Ring Nebula, combining Ha as well as visible light into a single HaLRGB image. The faint details were captured due to the 25 hours of total exposure time, which mainly consisted of 19 hours of Ha data. Ironically, most of the Ha data was tossed out, except for the wisps of gas around the main structure of the nebula.

IC1805130 viewsThe Heart of Heart Nebula - This is an HaRGB shot taken from my Internet enabled observatory in southern california.
|
|
Witch Head Nebula144 viewsThis is a total of 20 hours of data on this very faint object, and it's a HUGE improvement over my previous attempts. This is also my first image with my new robotic Internet observatory!!!

Sh2-199123 viewsCommonly known as the "Baby or Soul Nebula" for obvious reasons! This is an HaRGB image taken over 4 nights in the deserts east of San Diego. Often the purple color in HaRGB images comes from washing out the Ha washing out the red signal, but in this case there are actual several reflection nebula embedded inside this largely emission nebula that give it a blue/purple tint over much of the image.

M27 - Sharper140 viewsA sharper version of M27. . .
|
|
The Dumbbell Nebula96 viewsThis is a composite of 4.5 hours of Ha data and 30 minutes of RGB data that I gathered in July 2008. The Ha was blended with the Red channel and also used for luminance to come up with the final image. Getting the color balance even close to "right" was extremely difficult!
