George Hatfield Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 It seems that the majority of new material is narrow band. I, and I'm sure others, would like to see more objects in LRGB. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Bishop Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Hi George, They pretty much do NB when the moon is above a certain amount of illumination, I think around 25%, so around the new moon and when the moon is below the horizon and no one is doing advanced requests, then you will see new LRGB one click observations. With that being said there is an amazing amount of LRGB stuff that has been shot in the past. with over 6300 one clicks out there right now. For LRGB sets there are over 2600 one click observations available: https://app.telescope.live/click-grab/all?filter=(LRGB),Luminance,Red,Green,Blue Right now I am working on both the NGC 1788 and M74 sets of one clicks. There is an amazing amount of stuff up on there right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERNESTO GUIDO Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi George, As Scotty rightly wrote, we don't do LRGB imaging when there is the Moon in the sky (we have limits to both moon illumination and distance of the target from the Moon to image in LRGB). Also, the full Moon period is the least used period for Advance Requests so in general it is normal to see more HSO than LRGB. (Then there is that unofficial rule that when there is no moon there are clouds, oh well....🤐) Anyway of course new LRGB datasets will arrive, we are working on that.

George Hatfield Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Thanks for the responses to my plea for more LRGB imaging. I do understand that NB data is easier to obtain, and I have looked at the older data. But it seems that of late, there is not much LRGB, and what is there is not very interesting (e.g., comet images). Specifically, I'd like an RGB version of the NB data set for AurigaNebulae, which was shot in March 2023. Also, high-quality (bundle?) RGB data for the Rosette, M31, and M45. I don't really need luminance data since a synthetic or super luminance seems to work just fine. Thanks again for listening! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Hatfield Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Never mind on the M45. I found some decent data. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely feel free to suggest observations here: https://app.telescope.live/click-grab/suggest Here we have 18 hours of LRGB and another 2 hours and 10 minutes of Ha for M31 on SPA-1-CMOS: https://app.telescope.live/click-grab/all?telescope=60&target=M31 Here is M45 with 6 hours and 15 minutes from AUS-2-CMOS and 10 hours from SPA-1-CMOS: https://app.telescope.live/click-grab/all?telescope=63,60,62&target=M45 Here is 7 hours of LRGB on the Rosette Nebula along with 11 hours and 25 minutes of SHO on the Rosette: https://app.telescope.live/click-grab/all?telescope=63,60,62&target=M45 To get the CCD data to add in simply add in the AUS-2-CCD, SPA-1-CCD, and SPA-3-CCD scopes to what I have selected. If you want to make it really interesting combine it with the CCD data on each too. APP works very well for doing that if you have it. This will show you how to do it: To make it even more interesting you can use SHO data and basically "fake" RGB stars with an HOO look, in fact I do this quite a bit in my gallery on here. Don't look at the old stuff lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Hatfield Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Thanks for the links. I will check them out. George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Hatfield Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 Scotty... the link above for the Rosette is the link for M45. Could you give me the correct one? Thanks. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Bishop Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Oops! Here you go George. https://app.telescope.live/click-grab/all?telescope=63,60,62&target=Rosette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
