Description

2.25 Hours of exposure on a single clear night in B7 skies used as more of a test of Nina's Advanced Sequencer.  Not the most ideal framing and not the right FL for what I wanted but what the heck!  I spent around 30 minutes processing this with heavy use of GHS, StarXterminator, NoiseXterminator, Curves, and a good bit of Pixelmath for combining colors and creating a synthetic luminance channel to use for sharpening.

Not the best framing

9x300s / 100 Gain = Chroma 3nm Ha
9x300s / 100 Gain = Chroma 3nm Oiii
9x300s / 100 Gain = Chroma 3nm Sii
