Description

Gaining some more experience with narrowband imaging.

I used Pixinsight for the first part of the workflow (everything up to creating an RGB image from the 3 channels and doing rough color corrections).

From then on I continued in Photoshop using guidelines from Sarah Wagner she gave in her extremely useful and interesting presentation. Kudos to Sarah!

Anyhow, the image consists out of roughly 30 120s exposures per channel. I used bias an flats for calibration, no darks were involved.
