Description

This is my third attempt to process my data of this scary nebula in Cassiopeia. This time I used Star Xterminator in PS, and after I stretched and HiPass filtered the nebula to bring out the details, I added back the stars. Then a lot of minor fiddling of course. I am at least more pleased with this one than my previous versions, with a less distracting star field.

The data was collected with my Esprit double rig on the Mesu 200. Esprit 150 with ASI071 caught the RGB (17 x 10 min at gain 200) and Esprit 100 with ASI1600MM caught the Ha (13 x 15 min at gain 139). Ha added to the red channel using blend mode Lighten in PS.
