Description

This palette was created by experimenting with the NBRGB combination script in Pixinsight. I really like the deep reds it produced.

Acquisition:
Bortle 8/9 just outside of Washington, DC
H-alpha = 69 x 300s = 5.75 hours
R = 97 x 60s = 1.6 hours
G = 120 x 60s = 2 hours
B = 71 x 60s = 1.2 hours
Total integration = 10.55 hours
