Description: Added much more Ha. This is 20.9 hours worth. I believe this is one of those objects that might just look better in Ha only. I imaged both OIII and SII as well to bring the total up to 35 hours, but it just looks terrible. I also don't know how to control that overexposed star to tone it down.

Description: This is an HSS stack. There just was not enough OIII signal to overcome the background noise. I like the Ha version better

Description: Worked on making this a true SHO stack. Took out the stars to process the nebula by itself. Added the stars back in for the final image. Took that image into Lightroom to further tweak it.
