Data was acquired in bortle 7 conditions under a quarter moon for the last two sessions. Optolong L-Ultimate 3nm Ha and O3 band pass was essential in cutting through the light pollution. Processed with and without stars but ended up preferring the starless version to put full focus on the nebula structure and colors.
