Description

Combination of 20 Sep 2012 RGB with 10 Sep 2014 Hα. Is the whole greater than the sum of the parts? Some aberration around the edges from the unfortunate combination of coma corrector + focal reducer. I'm still struggling with the colors a bit. I keep having cloudy weather so I'm playing with older data!

47x300” RGB

36x600 Hα
