Description

Decided to shoot the Heart Nebula but did not center it because I wanted to see if the duoband filter could capture the faint gas expelling from the side.

I spent 25 hours on this from my Las Vegas backyard. I am overall happy with it, besides the obvious flows (some stars are too red, blownout fish head and core, slight gradients)...
