|
| This is an LCMY version of this nebula done with a C14 and an ST7 L200sec,C200,M180,Y100. This image shows much more nebula detail and lovely color. I want to do a longer exposure version. I am very impressed with the LCMY filters from Optec.ST7 at -5. Processing done in MAXIMDL and ADOBE. |

The Cone Nebula in the Christmas Tree Cluster |
|
| This image was combined in an unusual manner. The image was originally LCMY with the L layer being H-Alpha. The stars when aligned in LCMY in MasimDL and Registar bled colors with strange blue distortions and heart shaped stares that did not occur in the orginal images. I threw out the Magenta image and combined the images in RGB with the H-alph being the Red, Yellow being the Green and Cyan the blue. I am impressed with the results which are far cleaner than the LCMY. |

It is considered by the researchers in the Hubble Program to be a star factory simnilar to the Eagle Nebula(M16).This image shows a connection between M43 and M42. By using an H-Alpha filter for the luminance layer, this connection seems to take on perspective and M43 also seems to show its depth. |
