Description

I took these data some months ago and processed the area right around NGC 1491 but didn't much like the result.  In this one, I've used the entire frame of the ASI 6200 MM so there's lots of pixels.  My RGB FOV was rotated wrt the SHO as those data were taken on a separate night, so I had to augment my RGB stars w/ SHO stars in the corners.  To get the colors closer to right, compared to the SPCC colored RGB imagery, I used LinearFit to get the colors a bit closer... they look pretty good.  This is only two nights of data in my Bortle 7 backyard, so getting a reasonable result for the various diffuse gas is pretty nice.
