Description

The first time I processed this data last October, I did not get results that I liked. SII was very noisy, and I have just landed to narrrowband processing, so I halted. This past month I retrieved the job, focusing on improving the process, and now I have got results that I am happy with.

I've got to admit that I find it rather mindblowing to have captured this image from my backyard (outskirts of Madrid), narrowband imaging is magical! Although despite having at your hand all the home comodities, it cant compared to be on quiet, dark place under a wonderful sky.

I have also been playing with starless versions that hopefully I will be posting soon.

Hope you liked it!
