Description

I captured this data over several weeks in the Spring of 2021. I captured additional luminance data but I didn't use it. I've found that with Russ Croman's Blur and Noise Xterminators I can get very good detail from just the RGB data. I've stacked RGB, Ha, and OIII data for the image, using only the RGB data for the stars. The Ha is mapped to red and the OIII is mapped to teal. Most of the processing was done with Pixinsight, and I used photoshop to blend the RGB and narrowband data.
