Description

The clouds and rain have been so consistent this summer that this is the first of only two images I've completed this season. I believe it's the longest forced hiatus from imaging I've experienced. I was finally able to get around 18 hours of these targets between HSO filters over a few nights last week, combined with one night in June. This is the first time I've imaged these targets together in a wider field, so, initially I wasn't sure my framing was correct and was pleased when it came together. Also, I finally made some headway with the GHS and PixelMath tools when working with this data so I'm looking forward to attempting more revisions. This version is a stack using only Ha and Oiii (HOO).
