Description

I captured this image from my backyard in Williston (Bortle 4) on 7/27/22.  I initially processed this just as an Ha/OIII image, decided to reprocess this in PixInsight as an HOO palette.  The stars have been minimized/reduced since they were a bit overwhelming.    AT60ED w/ field flattener
ASI2600MC Pro (OSC camera)
SkyGuider Pro with guiding via ASIAir Plus using an ASI120mm mini and a 30mm F4 guide scope
Optolong L-Extreme dual-band filter (H-alpha, O-III)
300 second exposures x 30, with dark, flat, and bias calibration frames
Pre- and Post-processed in PixInsight with final touches in Photoshop
