First NarrowBand Image

I was finally able to gather some SII data, about 3 hours worth... on the Heart Nebula this week. Combined with the HA and OIII from last month I was able to try my hand at processing my first Hubble Pallet image. With some help from Bob Franke's helpful page on color processing for narrow band images I was able to get close to a decent result.

Heart Nubula in Narrow Band

I still have a lot to learn (my stars looks like sh_t) but wanted to share my first attempt.  

The world of narrow-band imaging is so rewarding with the added imaging time and color variations , not doubt I will be intrigued for some time trying to master it.
