Description

After various issues with my setup, I eventually managed to tweak everything so that imaging actually worked! It's not so easy when you always have to travel to find out that something does not work as expected...
This is my first real narrowband image and I'm proud that I made it this far.
So I went two nights to a remote site, the first short after fullmoon, where I only took Ha and SII data. In the second night (much darker but also rather humid) I took mainly OIII but spent some more time on the other channels as well.
Image processing did not work as smooth as I hoped, but I love the details towards the center and even in the darker outer regions of that wonderful region.
