Description

I have been setting up a 250 mm Orion Newtonian.  This is my first try a LHaRGB acquisition and processing.
Due to cloudy nights for way more than 6 weeks, not too much data to be had.  This could use a lot more integration time, but needed to do something.
Also, need longer exposure times, there was not much dynamic range in the data.
I think the Ha may have been a little to strong in the processing.
