      Description

      This is an image I have been working on recently of NGC2170. Aquisition started in December 2022 with 105 X 600 second exposures over several weeks using the ASI2600MC Pro, one shot colour camera and Astronomik CLS filter. Then 35 X 600 second HA and 33 X 600 second Luminance exposures were shot with the ASI2600MM camera with the last data shot in February 2023.

      The 105 OSC exposures were calibrated and split to seperate R-G-B files in Astro Pixel Processor before integration along with the HA and luminance data. 

      The RGB image was then generated in Astro Pixel Processor with combining of the RGB and Luminance, and blending in of the HA done in Photoshop.
