The Crescent - In Hubble Palette

I shot some narrow band Tuesday night on the Crescent Nebula to add to my LRGB image. I figured I'd try my hand at the Hubble Palate since I had the data.

This was shot with 3 filters, Hydrogen-Alpha, Sulfur II and Oxygen III. There are many ways to assign colors to each filter, but this one is known as the Hubble Palate, since it is what the Hubble Telescope assigns to each filter.

Anyway, here is my first Hubble Palate image.

Shot with my MN190 and ASI183mm Pro

Ha: 12, 500 sec exposures
Oiii: 12, 500 sec exposures
Sii: 12, 500 sec exposures

Wow!!!! And Wow!!!!

This is so amazing Andrew! I don’t think I have seen anything as beautiful as this. If there was a way that I could give your Astro photos a permanent Daily Feature I would!! :)

Thanks everyone, and thank you Jim for the daily feature!

This is great! Can you explain what a palate is?
I meant Palette, spelling mistake :). The Hubble Telescope uses a mono camera and filters just like my telescope. The hubble team has a certain color they use for each narrow band filter to give a color image. I am simply using the same colors for my filters that match what the Hubble uses for its same filters.

Hope this helps!
