Description

It's been a real struggle in Arizona getting clear skies to match up with moonless evenings. I decided to work in this target when I saw the forecast for clear nights coincided with the middle of the moon cycle. Again I am very happy that Spectrometric Color Calibration in Pixinsight has a narrowband mode for getting star color "right" for narrowband images. Bill Blanshan's Narrowband Normalization Routines were used to bring out even more "pop" for the OIII in this OIII rich region. Comments always welcome.
