Description

I didn't set out to image this in mono but I ended up with unusable R and G data so decided to process the Luminance data only. This is the lowest gain setting I have used with the ASI1600, the intention was to maximise dynamic range and avoid blowing out the stars too much whilst still capturing the nebulosity.
