Description

The data for this SHO image are from Astrophoto YGK (https://www.astrophotoygk.com/astroshare), which provided Ha, OIII, and SII masters (28 hours of total exposure). See the cited website for information on the imaging system. Pixinsight was used for processing, with minor adjustments in Photoshop.  The stars used in the image were produced from the NB masters using the workflow described in this YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMvgfmPkn-g&t=860s).   The image shown here is 30% of the size of the original.  It was reduced in size early on to reduce the time needed for processing.
