Description

RGB taken 2015-07-16 each 3x5m exposures

Ha taken 2015-08-13 5x5m exposures

total 70 minutes

My first time using the Baader Highspeed f/2 Ha filter on Hyperstar.

Because I was not able to get OIII and SII for this and already had RGB data, I decided to use the Ha channel as luminance and process color normally. I like the result, though in the future I would like to use the HaRGB techniques that preserve the stars brightness better.
