Description

Not quite enough data to really bring out the details, but my first real attempt at the SHO NB palette. The ZWO NB filters really gave me a fit with extended halos on the Sii and Ha filters. Spent quite a bit of time trying to remove them as best I can. Found a routine by Ron Brecher (Astrodoc.ca) that really helped a lot. And thanks to Gary Imm for assisting me in getting past some of my calibration issues.
