Description

Raw Ha frames courtesy of Deep Sky West Remote Observatory in New Mexico, USA. (deepskywest.com) Data obtained with FSQ 106EDXiii / QSI683wsg / Lodestar / Paramount MyT.

4 hrs (8x1800s) Ha for Luminance + 12x300s RGB. The palette is RGB with Ha used as Luminance.

Processing in PixInsight. My feeble attempt to combine Ha data from a pristine dark site in Rowe, NM, with the color RGB data that I took a few weeks ago from my back yard using the C8 HyperStar + ATIK OSC.

---------

Revision uses a different set of color RGB data taken a day earlier, and with half the integration time. But this view overlaps the Ha luminosity data a bit more. The specifics of the RGB data do seem to matter less.
