Thanks Steve. I'm not sure I've entirely got the technique of combining large amounts of background Ha into the image but it's a work in progress 😄. It was great to be able to chat with James face to face as well. CS
Excellent video Logan! So nice to finally ‘meet’ James! He’s lost his ‘Banksy’ status now mate😀 Great collaboration, 74 hrs is a considerable number, and a great target! Super edit, I liked the photoshop screen method of putting back the Ha! Both brilliant images well done both👍 Clear skies!
Thanks Simon. Haha yes James is no longer that mystery person behind all those fantastic processing videos he does. I did suggest if he wanted to do a 'Tool Time' type scenario where I talk to him over a fence 🤣. I'm still working on the technique of adding that amount of Ha into the background without it overtaking other features which I think it has done a bit in my version when you compare the extra amount of that lovely dust showing up in James's version. CS
Thanks Tich. I was particularly lucky with the run of clear nights in Spain as its been pretty much cloudy every night for the last month or so which, for me is, clearly a first world problem when Spain has suffered such a lot of damage and loss of life with the recent weather events. CS
Really enjoyed getting to chat with you face to face (electronically) and collaborate on this cool target. I think my method of incorporating the Ha needs a little work as I think it overran some of the dust which was much more clearly seen in your version. CS.
@@LogansAstro I have been experimenting with different ways to mix NB with BB. I think it's the next frontier in amateur astrophotography.. for me at least, lol. Hoping we can do it again :)
Awesome results from two awesome Astrophotographers! Top notch, gents! 😲🔭📸🦎

Great Video Logan, and an outstanding image, well done to both of you, 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Thanks very much Stewart. Collaborations are a lot of fun and they also help with the data collection volume, that's for sure. CS
Great collaboration Logan and James, the image worked out really well.
Thanks Nik. Certainly helps with the data collection when there is more than one person collecting data. CS
Great collab guys both images were outstanding great job.

Excellent work Logan/James. 72 hours is definitely a commitment!
Thanks Pete. We were both lucky to get a great run of clear nights so we were able to collect that data relatively quickly. CS
Great work Gents 👏🏻👏🏻
Nice to see a collaboration of North and South
Cheers Simon
@@Si-fp2ij thanks Simon. Was great to get to do a collab with James. I guess you could say I was South masquerading as North 😂
@ Yes that’s true, also good to finally see James, only ever heard his voice.
The American Banksy as someone commented
Three weeks of clear nights, James, that's not normal! Great looking image in the end.
Yeah I think James must be hogging all the clear nights 🤣.
Unfortunately.. that my comments on clear nights was out of date.. we ended up getting something like 8 weeks of straight clear nights!
Great video Logan, and what a mega effort you guys have put in. Love your work flow and results
CS Don
Thanks Don. Yep the beauty of a collab for getting mega hours of data. CS
It was an awesome colab Logan. I'm glad we both had sufficient clear moonless nights. I love the red velvet in your version. CS!
