Total Lights integration = Approx. 7.5 hours (300sec subs)
Note1. I know this target requires minimum 10 to 20 hrs of good data to produce quality images. Unfortunately, our skies have not been too clear for several weeks and its pretty late in the season, so here goes nothing
Note2: I took data on Lower's nebula right after an hour on Rice Hat, and the "shockwave" or the artifact to the left of the image was not there, so not sure what that was or still is out there???!!!
Also, I did switch to a 2nd Lenhance filter on a different night, during the same target acquisition, using the same rig, and the artifact was present. However, when I went back to Lower's nebula, none of the light subs on my iPad in the ASI air app showed any artifacts, so what gives?
3.05 Hrs using Skywatcher ED100 triplet\294MC Pro main cam, L Enhance filter, HEQ5 Pro mount
4.5 Hrs using William Optics Z73 doublet\183MC Pro main cam, L Enhance filter GEM28 mount
Astro Pixel Processor separate stacks: integrated as one final image in APP. Post processed and cropped in Pixinsight, and final touches in Paintshop pro for clarity and vibrancy. Full details on Astrobin:
