Description

I took this image using two of my different telescopes for different purposes.

I used my GoTo Dobsonian to take a high-resolution Ha luminance using lucky imaging (150x15s subframes), and then I took a more widefield SHO image using my equatorially mounted reflector and applied that SHO palette as color to the high-resolution Ha luminance.

It's a bit of an unusual way of imaging but I really like the high-resolution achievable using lucky imaging at 1200mm FL on the Dobsonian

Hope you enjoy
