Description

Raw Ha frames courtesy of Deep Sky West Remote Observatory in New Mexico, USA. (deepskywest.com) Data obtained with FSQ 106EDXiii / QSI683wsg / Lodestar / Paramount MyT.

9.5 hrs total integration (12x180s RGB, 18x1800s H-alpha). The palette is RGB with H-alpha serving as Luminance.

Processing in PixInsight. RGB frames were captured last night in my backyard. Image then blended in the Ha from the Rowe, NM dark site, as luminance and detail.

... kind of disappointing, really... not much to see. It's all H-alpha. Looks much better with SHO.
