Description

I have been going on a streak of capturing data for some older targets as well reprocessing some old targets. The last I captured this target was with a modified DSLR, so this is the first time I capture it with a cooled CMOS sensor. Needless to say I'm pleased with the result.

This is a big different from what you may be used to seeing. I have combined only Ha and SII data, in a typical HOO palette except the OIII has been replaced by SII. From my bortle 9 location I find it easier to get SII data for some targets, whereas OIII would require 2-3x the amount of integration with 420s sec subs using my equipment. So as you can image I took some artistic liberties with this image since both HA and SII lie in the red part of visible light spectrum.

Anyway, let me know what you think and if you have any questions!
Enjoy!
