Description

A re-edit of data collected in January & February of this year (2021).

With the newest version of my post-processing software, StarTools, I can finally add some data captured through a hydrogen alpha (Ha) filter to help bring out more of the faint features of these beauties. I've tried various techniques to combine my Ha data with LRGB with little success...this new module in StarTools is a game changer for me.
