Description

Here's the Horsehead Nebula, Flame Nebula =14pxand friends I have been working on.  The data was captured with a Stellarvue SVX102T, ZWO ASI 2600MM Pro and using ZWO filter set.  This was combined in the HaLRGB pallet integrating about 8 hours of integration time total.  I had a lot of fun processing this one.  Some portions are a bit over-sharpened as I was experimenting with using masks and different approaches.  Maybe I will get back to this data one day soon. and of course add more time.  Still a huge leap forward in my personal game here.  Going deep, integrating Ha frames and using the tools to pull out those details.  Pre-processed in APP and post-processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop.
