Description

RGBSHO rendering of the Cygnus Loop, comprising of the Western Veil (NGC6960), Eastern Veil (NGC6992) and Pickering's/Willemina's Triangle (NGC6979). The data comprises of:

- 9 frames @600s of Ha
- 11 frames @600s of Oiii
- 3 frames @600s of Sii
- 9 frames @180s each of R, G and B

along with matching darks, flats and biases.

This is my first post to AstroBin, and also my first time using Utah Desert Remote Observatories.

Processing was performed in AstroPixelProcessor first to integrate the subs, then RGBSHO channel combination to create linear image. The image was then processed in PixInsight; however, minimal processing was applied. The data was of pristine quality, given that it came from Bortle 2 skies on a low moon night, so just basic denoising with NoiseXTerminator, HistogramTransformation, CurvesTransformation, sharpening with MultiScaleLinearTransform and HDRMultiScaleTransform (for the brightest parts in Eastern and Western Veil) were utilized.
