Description

This my first complete image from the Deep Space Product Remote hosting facility located in Animas, NM USA. 

Narrowband Ha and O3 were taken during the full moon and supplemented by RGB for stars taken in the early evening before the moon rose.

The narrowband data was combined using a dynamic HOO pixel math expression from https://thecoldestnights.com/2020/06/pixinsight-dynamic-narrowband-combinations-with-pixelmath/

To compose the final image the dynamic HOO starless image was combined with the RGB stars using a screen blending mode. 

I chose a somewhat unconventional portrait orientation to evoke a dragon-like shape.
