Description

This project was more or less just a challenge to myself. I really liked the framing of the dust but I wasn't really sure if I'd even pick up the details of it from within the light polluted city. So I dumped a moderately decent amount of exposure time into it and I gotta say I was pretty surprised. Obviously the Ha data really made this one come together. Without the Ha, the RGB data would have needed to probably quadruple before it would have been clean enough to make a semi decent photo. This was my version of the photo and I had planned to go back to see what other dust I could pull out of it.. but I keep liking it when I glance back.. So I'm just going to leave it as it is and maybe come back to the data later this year. 

15 Hours RGB and 10 hours Ha from Bortle 6.
