Description

The last in my series of images of M27. I wanted to try combining data from my different cameras / image scales. Data from my mono CCD camera (6.45 micron pixels) were combined with RGB colour data from my CMOS OSC (2.4 micron pixels). Calibrated data were scaled and aligned in Nebulosity after converting the OSC data to separate binned RGB channels, rotating and then combining with the Luminance channel as a composite in Startools. 

After some inevitable cropping I'm left with a 'postage stamp' sized image, which shows a good level of detail and reasonable stars, given this is just an hour and half integration under bright summer skies.
