Description

Captured this couple of weeks ago over 3 nights, one for each channel. Overall I liked how clean the Ha and SII channels came out for such a short integration time. The OIII signal is super faint so needed a lot of stretching.

For the first time, I used the new StarXTerminator plugin to create the starless layer during processing. This tool is much better in terms of providing a clean starless image when compared to Starnet, so no need to spend time on often hard to clean up artifacts left over by Starnet++.
