The northern part of NGC6992 imaged with the 43cm f6,8 PlaneWave CDK17 and a FLI Kepler 4040 CMOS camera. It's a special tri-color narrowband image. Special with regards to the used filters. Most common is the SHO palette in, this case the following filters have been used, H-alpha, Nitrogen and Oxygen. The nitrogen emission line is very close to the h-alpha with regards to the wavelengh. Only by using filters with a bandwith of 3nm or less the two emission lines can be seperated. So that a tri color image can be made with a nitrogen filter instead of an sulfur filter. I have done the HNO palette. Integration time HNO = 177:360:297 minutes Mike van den Berg NGC6992_P8_HNO_177_360_297min.jpg

Mike, What a great difference adding that nitrogen data has made, and such detail in the filaments. Fabulous. Cheers, Ray
