Description

First attempt to combine rgb wih dual narrowband filter with a osc camera.
Despite quite some hours worth of data the result is somehow not as expected. Too little detail, too much noise...
Guess my slow F/10 is not the only excuse when I look around....
Hope the horse waits for me until next year :-)

Title: a new approach

Description: As the bad weather seems to persist, I'm gradually running out of old images to reprocess.
In this second version of the Horsehead Nebula, I tried to emphasize the faint dust clouds that cover and surround it by using more signal from the image shot without a filter. Although the dust clouds are more visible now, I'm not quite where I'd like to be yet. Perhaps acquiring more data will help me improve the image further.
