Description

A clear night even if the temperature is a bit on the high side...

Nice bonuses = meridian-flip and temperature-compensated focusing worked (so I got some sleep), new version of APP did a nice job with the stacking

First real shot at the SHO pallette which takes a bit of getting used to.

I may get a chance to add to the data tonight so I won't bother trying to process this any further for now...

Ha 7 x 600s -15degC

OIII 8 x 600s -15degC

Title: Reprocessed in PI with additional data

Description: This was short of data back in 2018 so getting some more seemed worthwhile - only one partial evening so far but the weather gods have not been kind (as usual).
I actually went back and processed yet again after checking the various masks as the Oiii in the final image isn't extending as far as most other peoples images of the Wizard. However this is what the data is giving me so it is what it is......
The stars were combined in HSO with a SHO-based palette for the nebula
