Description

Using the new data that is gradually coming through from ITU, I was able to process this without any flat frames - they will soon be released. A number of changes are still afoot down there in Spain, so I am unsure what scope took this. Either way, it was 13 subs in Ha, 14 in SII and 14 in OIII, each at 10 minutes long in exposure length. The integration time was 5 hours and 50 minutes. It is a standard SHO process, but I removed only 75% of the green, in order to hopefully give some additional colour to the yellows and golds. I am really pleased with this, and the quality of the data is really something...
