Description

[Updated 2023-09-09]: Improved my PixInsight processing flow to include better noise reduction and sharpening - there is a ton of detail in this image now. I will now spend time imaging at S2 and O3 narrowband to build a colour version. 

Bortle 7 Skies - my front yard in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

I shot this 4 panel mosaic in narrowband Ha, O3 and S2 but find the mono/grayscale Ha image has a more detailed and striking look to  it - when the other frequencies/colours are added some of the spectacular 3D feel is lost.
