Description

I have no idea how much exposure ended up on this. A couple nights ago I was able to try a few hours of narrowband Ha and Oiii (2 minute subs), so started with HOO (which is a really nice pallette- first time trying that).

Then I added a previous year's LRGB to get more of the reflection nebula blue. Back to clouds now, so here is where it will stand.

It took me 3 years to image M42 again with the cloudy winters here, so happy I was able to get a chance and to play around with narrowband data.
