Description

The data for this LRGB image are from OMI Astro (https://www.omiastro.com/).  The telescope is a Takahashi TOA 150 (fl 1100) equipped with a Moravian G3 16200 camera.  The total exposure for all filters was just under 6 hours.  A "synthetic luminance" created from the R, G and B masters was used to create the LRGB.
