Description

Arriving at the Crescent Nebula.

The stars are in RGB; the nebulae are HaOIII.

I made an early decision on a specific rendering intent to imagine the "view out the star ship window" upon arriving in the vicinity of the Crescent, with other stuff rendered into the background.

Technically I was aware that the Crescent has rich filamentary detail in its dim OIII signal and I wanted to highlight that too.

All stacks were drizzle integrated at 2x scale for post processing, then down-scaled.

Nov. 24th SQM 20.40 ambient temperature 10C, calm.

Nov. 25th SQM 20.55 ambient temperature 5C, calm.

Nov. 26th SQM 20.50 ambient temperature 15C, breezy.

Unguided mount tracking at King rate.

All calibration frames from extant libraries.
