Description

This is the final image. Needs more integration time really and maybe some Ha to bring out the detail.

I'm wondering if it's worth putting an Ha filter on this OSC camera and just capturing the red channel. I'm quite

pleased with this image and I've managed to tone down the stars a little. You will also notice I've used the

correct debayering this time

ATIK 314L+ Cooled to -6

Altair Astro 80mm EDT mounted on Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro
