Narrow-band Images

  • IC63 – Hydrogen Alpha
  • IC63 – Oxygen-III
  • IC63 – Sulfur-II

Notes:

Not an easy target. There is minimal OIII and SII data. Needed more individual OIII and SII frames to pick out some additional detail. To enhance the OIII and SII channels, I did a 2:2 software binning.

When integrating the 3 narrow-band images into the color channels, I deviated from the Hubble Palette.

  • Red: OIII
  • Green: HA
  • Blue: SII
