Description

My first serious LRGB image. I was lucky to have 3 (counting tonight) clear. calm good seeing nights in a row. Now that I am in my 3rd season, I am focusing more on long integration times on fewer objects. I am pretty happy with this image so far. I plan to go back and completely redo the LUM to get rid of the star defects. I am going to shoot some HA tonight as I have seen some HA wings in others' images.

60 @ 180 seconds Lum

20 each RGB

flats for each color and lum
