Description

Since we had a couple of good nights and early darkness I managed to get a lot of data in a few days. For this project I could even complete the data collection in 3 nights.

The data was really easy to process, just the OIII had a LOT of reflections around bright stars. Owners of a Baader High Speed OIII filter know what I am talking about. Luckily I have a couple of neat tricks nowadays to get rid of them, but it is still some manual work.

I decided to go with RGB stars for this one, which I think payed off quite well.

In the end the image consists of:

551 x 90s narrowband frames (Ha, OIII, SII)

90 x 10s RGB frames for the stars

I used a starnet-generated starmask to insert the RGB stars into the starless narrowband image.
