Description

I'm back on the air. This is the first image from my camera since it returned from cleaning. It suffered from a case of thermal grease that had oozed from behind the sensor to the front surface of the sensor itself. My thanks to Woodland Hills Telescope for getting it cleaned up.

This interesting area of the sky is near the North America Nebula. I processed it as a SHORGB with narrowband for the gasses and RGB for the stars.

Description: I was able to add 4 hours of RGB stars to the mix. They were photometrically calibrated before combining with the narrowband image.

Description: Got bored today so I decided to reprocess this image from scratch. There is so much detail in this area of the sky. I thought it would be fun to leave it starless.
