Description

Pretty happy with the results given we only captured 6 hours data (and used around 4).

Surprisingly, I was only exposing for 180 secs per frame, per filter (using an ASI1600mm, 3nm Chroma filters and imaging at F7).

Chroma filters were definitely a step up over the ZWO 7nm narrowband set.
