Description

I received the RGB data for this image from Emil Ivanov back in 2017.   The images are from a 16" f 3.75 Dream Corrected Astrograph (1500mm) equipped with an Apogee Alta U16M camera.  The system was located in Namibia.   The data were collected in May 2013.   GraXpert AI was used to remove gradients, and GHS was used to stretch the image.  Bill Blanshan's Star reduction script 3 was used to reduce the star density.  A super luminance was created by integrating all the masters, including Ha, and this was used to create this LRGB image.
