Description

I had received my hydrogen alpha filter some 6 months before eventually settling for getting some cheap ZWO RGB filters (still haven't received my Baader RGB filters, 9 months on), so this is predominantly an Ha image, with just a splash of RGB. I'll likely re-process it to get the stars more accurate, but in the mean-time, I still like the result.

And yes, it is quite challenging to shoot through the clouds in the winter time, plus I only have about 4 hours per night of open skies between the trees that flank my back yard. So I usually shoot multiple targets in a night, and sometimes only end up with a few frames to show for it. It all comes together in the end though
