Veil Nebula in H-alpha & OIII light
Here is an image of leftovers of the massive star
explosion, Supernova.
Colors in image are close to real one, hydrogen is emitting Red
and Oxygen is emitting Blue/Green part of spectrum.
Green channel in image is synthesized from O-III and H-alpha.
Imaging data: - Camera, QHY8 - Filters, Baader 7nm H-alpha and Baader 8,5nm O-III - Optics, Tokina AT-X 300mm @ f2.8 - Exposures, 7X 1200s H-alpha 8 X 1200 O-III + flats and bias - Guiding, LX200 GPS 12" + PHD-guiding and Lodestar

O-III Veil in 3D-stereo pair images
Since weather do not give any support, I played with a data I have.
Vei Nebula is a supernova remaint. Leftovers from massive explosion
have spred around space. This presentation shows again the "real" nature of this object.
Image is a false color, Blue, since O-III is located on the Blue/Green part of the spectrum.
Viewing instructions can be found from the right hand side menu.

Veil Nebula in O-III light
Veil Nebula with O-III filter only.-
This is a start of the new project.
I will shoot The Veil Nebula in two color narrowband,
where O-III is Blue and H-alpha is Red, Green will be
synthesized from Red and Blue.
-
Not a very good star though, at fist night (29.09.) I was able to shot
only three 20min. frames. Thats a way too litle for O-III light.
I'll shoot more , if weather up here ever permits it,
two more hours is needed here, I think.
-
In the final image O-III will be precented as Blue color.
Tokina 300 AT-X @ f2.8, is a very good lens for this target,
the field of view is perfect march for the Veil.

Here is an image where stars are removed,
it's interesting to see how far the O-III area really goes.
