Description

I shot this with two cameras, an ASI2600MM and an ASI2600MC, over many nights (because of the ever-changing weather mainly). This is an RGB image with Ha added (HaRGB). The RGB image is almost 14 hrs 48 min. of integration while the Ha image is 3 hrs 34 min. of integration. I used techniques gleaned from Masters of Pixinsight, with Adam Block's star de-emphasis method, coupled with Shawn Nilesen's (Visibledark.ca) advice on making the final HaRGB image. A serious list of firsts for me while producing this image.
