Description

This is a HOO composition with the Ha data shot at Bin1x1 (6.7 hours) and the O3 data shot at bin2x2 (4 hours), although the O3 data was shot during full moon and so wasn't ideal but was definitely better than nothing.

Stacked in Astro Pixel Processor and post process in Affinity photo.

This is my first proper DSO image and I'm very happy with it, there is some misalignment in the channels as can be seen on the stars at lower left but I stuggled to get them all to line up across the image as a whole. I will likely come back to this target to try to reacquire the O3 data under more favourable conditions.
