Description

First HaRGB target with the EdgeHD 11. Wanted to go deep on this one for a while and it's in a great spot for my field of view this time of year. Fought gradients in processing it and finally got it to the point of completion, although I ended up way fewer Red subs as I expected as clouds and wind took the majority out. Integrating the Ha did seem to help to make up for it.
