Description

Captured for participation in the monthly challenge on Cloudy Nights.
Very cold night (-20C), but imaged for almost 11 hours without any hiccups, other than sub-par guiding leading to very sub-par stars in the NB frames. These stars have been replaced using the roughly 1,5 hours of RGB captured at 30s per sub

Title: HSS + synthetic L

Description: Since the OIII stack was very weak, adding mostly noise, I decided to try a version using only the HA and SII data. Extracted a synthetic L channel and after some (a lot) of messing with balancing the images using pixel math, I finally found a version that I find "attractive". YMMV :)
Stars a still RGB.
