Description

To better bring out the nebula regions, I captured an hour of H-alpha data with the OSC camera. The end result matched what I had in mind. This was possible since I got the ZWO EFW-MINI filter wheel. Worked perfectly with ASIair . I used an Astronomik 12nm H-alpha 1.25" filter for 1hr of Ha and an Astronomik L3 UV/IR cut filter for the 2hr of Lum/RGB with the OSC camera.
