Description

I original captured this image using my Optolong L-Pro filter from my backyard, but I wasn't very happy with the color so I replaced the filter with a ZWO UV/IR filter and captured another set of images. From the whole set I extracted the luminance channel but only applied to luminance to the images captured with the UV/IR filter. The results are much better than the original set of images but I still think the color may be a little off. Guess that what I get from capture in Bortle 7 skies.

Description: Still reprocessing images while I wait for my new mount. I believe I got a little more color in the galaxy with this version.
