Description

Still a beginner at narrowband. Avoiding subjects with bright stars with the first generation ZWO filters due to expected halos. Lots of gradient issues without flats at the moment, darks only. But this crop came out pretty nice. Just defaults in APP, though lots of iterations in color combination and more tweaking in Lightroom for aesthetics. Framing could do with some work -- I was targeting on the bright triple near the top, which was center of the original frame (HR 8281/HD 206267), but that truncates (no pun!) the trunk!
