Description

Captured on T9 (Televue APO and FLI Proline).

2 hours of Ha - 12 x 10 minutes

2 Hours of OIII - 12 x 10 minutes Bin x 2

2 Hours of SII - 12 x 10 minutes Bin x 2

Processed in PixInsight.

Unlike my first couple of attempts i was extremely meticulous with the data in this process, keeping it linear for as long as possible and making extensive use of composite masks to preserve the stars and their colours and enhance the structures. I also spent a lot of time building defect maps to correct the dead columns present on the FLI Proline chip.
