Description

My first light with QHY294M & Antlias! The data quality compared to unmodified DSLR is staggering. Tried my absolute best during processing to preserve broadband structure while also taking advantage of high SNR narrowband Hα data - personally consider this image to be false-colour, even though it's probably much closer to reality than standart HαRGB image.
