Description

One of the winter mainstays... I did this using a fast Newt for the Ha and the small refractor for the RGB and combined them.

I saw no IFN in any of my frames, I guess it's just not dark enough here. But I do like the image although I may add some more integration to this. When the weather permits of course.

I have some strange artifacts on the brighter stars that result from the use of PI Deconvolution. I like what the process does for images in general but these artifacts are not good. Must be something I'm doing wrong.
