Description

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

8.3 hrs (7x600s R, 5x600s G, 6x600s B, 27x900s L). Palette is standard RGB with L as luminance channel after MaskedStretch.

It is interesting to compare the blow-up of this image with another taken on a 32-inch RC atop Mt. Lemmon near my home. We don't have all those nebular details, but there are hints of them in this image. And the colors show a pretty close match. Theirs was LRGB 260:70:70:80 minutes, versus ours at 405:70:50:60 on a 4-inch Tak.
