Description

Barely two hours worth of capture in both broadband (for stars) and narrowband (for nebulosity). A New Moon under Bortle 4 skies does a lot of the heavy lifting but this could still use a couple of hours more capture. 

Processed both images separately before registering against each other and merging the starless RGB at 50% with the starless HaOiii, then merging in the RGB stars to the composite nebulosity. 

All processing done in Astro Pixel Processor and Photoshop CC
