Description

I originally shot 2 hours of 5 min Ha exposures but this didn't seem enough so I shot another 5 hours of 12 min exposures and combined them for about 7 hours total. I did a fairly aggressive continuum subtraction before combining the Ha with my RGB. Also I did not shoot any luminance and just went with the inherent luminance of the RGB.
