Description

All data for this image was shot in Aug-Sep from my Bortle 8 backyard. The total integration time is about 54h.
About 16h of which (600s Ha and 900s OIII exposures) was shot with an APM Riccardi 0.75x focal reducer attached to improve SNR as it effectively converts native F/5.5 for my Esprit to 4.1x.

One of the things I tried to achieve processing this image is to increase the dynamic range of the Ha nebulosity (Sh2-129).
