Description

Data captured over several nights in Dec 2020 and Jan 2021.
Data undersampled, due to pixel size of the camera (5.4 µm).
Was tempted to reduce the star halos on the bottom left of the image; but decided not to touch them eventually, by fear of degrading other parts of the image - and my processing skills are not there yet!
Blending Ha with Luminance and the Red channel was a challenge - finding a good balance is always a difficult exercise with respect to my color-blindness.
Comments welcome!
