Description

The last one from the clear nights I had in September. I didn't want the usual red/pink color I see on this target, which to me looks like fire, so I tried to get as close as I could to "fire". I didn't have perfect data for this target, Ha was great but SII was slightly out of focus and OIII barely there, few exposures and week signal so because of that the stars look weird but it is what it is, I was done shooting this target and I didn't want to go back. Maybe next year I'll go back and see if I can improve.
