Description

Dual Telescope capture in non-perfect conditions with bad seeing
Ha data via AstroTech120ED + QHY183M + Antlia 3nm 
RGB data via iOptron RC 6" and l-Enhance filter
Side saddle with both scopes capturing same intgeration
Shot looking into the worst light pollution and over houses - as it was -12c the heat distortions were rather severe and added to already bad seeing

The blend is different on this image - the RGB was channel split then using pixelmath in PI Ha = red, Green*.85 + Ha*.15 = Green, Blue = Blue
