Description

Imaged in SHO narrow-band. Threw out a few frames due to star eccentricity but ended up with enough frames to pull the colors out. The star Alnitak was extremely bright which gave me some processing problems where much of the light refraction still came through even with several masks used to tame the star. Overall I am pleased with the result.
