NGC 1333 Up Close and Personal
I got a really nice set of Data of NGC 1333 from Telescope Live, courtesy of Bernard Miller, taken with his Planewave 17/ FLI Proline PL16803/ Astrodon LRGB2GEN. This is one of my favorite objects and his Planewave can get up close and personal much better than my NP127is!! This is 21 hours total exposure time 900s RGB subs and 1200s L subs.
Processed with Pixinsight and tweaked with Photoshop. I used Graxpert for gradient removal, then BXT, NXT, and SpectroPhotoCal. Then the new MultiAdaptiveStretch on RGB and L and then processed as usual.
Hope ya like it!
