Description

Finally after more than a month of no clear skies a chance for a whole night of photon gathering. With the full moon (no eclipse time ;-)) out narrow band was the choice. Always wanted to create an SHO image.

SII - Red

OIII - Green

Hα - Blue

Final hue adjustments to better separate SII from Hα.
