Description

This started as a mosaic consisting of 11 panels, each an approximate 30 minute exposure.  It was acquired over 2 nights in July of 2021, and 1 night in August of 2021.  I used my eVscope-1 with an Altair TriBand filter attached.  I assembled the mosaic with Astro Pixel Processor.  I was trying out Affinity Photo for the first (and almost only) time.  After much fiddling with the various options available in AP, I managed to remove the background and stars, convert those to an inverted grayscale image, then add that back to the nebula.  I wound up with this sort of "artsy" image that (to me) has the look of a watercolor.  This is the result of having too much time on my hands.
