In my opinion, this is the most exciting realm of astrophotography today. It is bringing together multiple advances in gear and processing to bring about new artistic expression of the wonders of the universe. The technique has been around for years, but the advances and affordability to the amateur in fast optics, higher quality sensors, and high quality narrow band filter has taken the process to mainstream. This image is an experimentation with remote data I captured from Australia. I am really just getting my toes wet with this process, but I am already in love with the possibilities. I will have a YouTube video about this topic in the near future. Much more to come, but for now…here is the Great Eta Carinae nebula in a customized color palette taken with hydrogen alpha, OIII, and Sulpher II filters. Thanks for visiting and drop me a line if you have any questions.
