Description

Dec-05-2015 ... I got a new modified Canon SL1 and drove to a close dark sky park, back then I was using BackyardEOS and I didn't really know much about plate solving ... etc so I tried my best to align the frame and then I took a 2 min exposure, I was kind disappointed because I couldn't see a lot of Ha data in there but I just remembered that I forgot to put IR-UV cut filter (CLS-CCD) because it was a full spectrum camera, after I put the filter and took another 2 min exposure, my oh my I was doing the happy dance, just memorizing.

Captured 29 subs and 20 darks, and during the processing in Photoshop and decided to remove all the stars to stretch the data even further. I hope you like it
