Description

105 minute total exposure

210 x 30 Seconds at gain 350

This was my first night using the STC Dual Narrowband filter, and I was super impressed with how much detail popped out here. Coupled with high gain short exposures, it let me capture a ton in a very short amount of time from my white zone light polluted skies.

This is also my fist image processed in Astro Pixel Processor. Not as many options as PixInsight, but a lot faster and very well suited to large batches of images.
