Description Orion's Sword nebular complex in emission line false-color. This image uses the "Hubble palette", though not the ways STScI does, but I liked the way the greens and purples worked together.

Red = SII, Green = Hα, Blue = OIII

Thanks so much!

Took it with a 110 mm triplet refractor underneath the streetlamp in front of my house. I have a Finger Lakes Instrumentation MicroLine 8300. I use Astronomik filters. I think the total integration time was something like a few hours (I've been meaning to post this for, like, a year, so I'll have to go back and review the FITS files. I've actually been meaning to reprocess i!

lol. Thanks. I have quite a backlog to post (well at least 5 - 10). So this weekend I'll probably be putting them up.

I have a ridiculous amount of data in the pipeline too (a few hundred GB), so hopefully i'll figure out the maths on combining them soon. Current project is the M31 mosaic (for which the luminance is on my website), it's very hard! It's like 6500x8500 pels or something. Stay tuned.
