Description

After an entire month of collective tinkering over several clear nights, I finally have something I consider worth sharing.

I recently upgraded to PixInsight and have spent plenty of time learning how to use it. I've also been battling both clouds and light pollution in my efforts to produce a true color HorseHead image. I finally conceded and switched to narrowband, this is the result!

I see myself traveling to darker skies in the near future. Light pollution is really a struggle.
