Description

I took this a few months ago intending to turn it into a full color image but gave up because the OIII was just way too weak.  Eventually got back to just the Ha, gave it a very quick run of BlurXTerminator to remedy the stars (which were quite bad, likely due to a spacing issue), NoiseXTerminator, and EZ Soft Stretch.  Pretty impressed with the signal given that I am 30 minutes from NYC and sandwiched in between several densely populated cities.
