Description

During a rare break in the clouds here in the Pacific Northwest, I was able to see clear skies for a few hours. I planned on taking about 1 hour of Ha/Oiii data with the Optolong L-eXtreme filter and another 20 - 30 minutes in regular RGB with a IR/UV cut filter, but the clouds came faster than expected. I only got 7 subs of the target with the filter, and was able to grab a single RGB from the snapshots I use to plate solver for  alignment. I was blown away by the detail the filter quickly captured and decided to process it. Only 24 minutes but I'm very happy  with the result!
