Description

First successful run with ES iEXOS-100 budget mount. First night was near full moon, so had ~8 hours of 120-second frames shot through l-enhance filter. Second night had ~8 hours of 180-second frames with same filter. Third night had ~8 hours of 120-second frames with no filter for realistic colors. Modded Canon 600D, Rokinon 135mm f/2 at f/2.8, guided with PHD2 and Ekos internal guider.

Processed in APP by extracting H-alpha from the l-enhance data, processed the RGB data separately, and then recombined as LHaRGB with Ha contributing both to the luminance and red channel. Stars removed from composite image with Starnet++, and then the starfield from the straight RGB data reintroduced in GIMP.

C&C welcome - first time trying to composite data like this, and I think I kind of butchered it.
