Description

First I want to give a big thank you to the family that once again allowed me to occupy their property to keep these images, who in addition to keeping me company for a few hours on Saturday night left me the keys to protect me, and a mountain of firewood to warm me during the night, otherwise, and without a doubt I would not have endured it, the conditions were very harsh with a wonderful cold, my "astro-friend", alone, "friend" from now on, resisted a couple of hours the first day ONLY. I still had one more night but after Sunday night, I loaded my gear and ran home😅😅😅😅, I slept for twelve hours straight, an adventure that I will not repeat, next time it will be different, for sure. I only captured data with the L filter and some R at this Bortle 2 location as my only goal was IFMs. The color data for "Revision H" is from my 2019 backyard, and the H-Alpha data, "Revision I", is also from my backyard and was acquired this month. I love the result and for the first time I recommend seeing this image at full resolution, some chromatic problems almost solved, the rest I love it, I still tried to color the IFMs because something was missing, I finally gave up, although with a boost from the red channel that protect galaxies I got something more subtle that I really like. and the H-Alpha data, "Revision I", is also from my backyard and was acquired this month.
