Description

Good to excellent seeing for many of the subs resulted in a quite sharp final image. The only problem is that the blue subs had a strange reflection from Alnitak. I got lucky and took some OIII subs thus I was able to blend those in with the blue channel to reduce the artifact. The final image was a blend of HII and lum subs for the final luminosity channel. L 40x60s, HII 60x200s, OIII 10x200s, RGB 18x60s 2x2 binned.
