Description

I took pictures of this emission nebula in the early days of January. First  I took the data for the RGB picture, close to new moon. When the moon got brighter  I decided to  give my H-alpha 12nm clip filter a try and took "narrow" band data. It was the first time that I used that filter so there was a bit of trouble shooting, concerning focusing and polar aligning via plate solver. Also the processing was totally new to me, but with the help of some Youtube-Tutorials the picture  turned  out pretty good for my level of skills and I'm happy with the result.

RGB:
Lights: 130 x 180s
20 darks frames
20 flats frames
20 bias frames

H-alpha
Lights: 90x 300s
20 darks frames
20 flats frames
20 bias frames
