Description

This image was shot in RGBHa as I had originally hoped to shoot luminance at a later date.  But I have decided to go after different targets the remainder of this galaxy season, so I am posting this result as is.  The collimation was off the night this data was captured, but I found downsampling the data hides some of the error.
