Description

First attempt at an LRBG image. RGB data was taken using old non-imaging grade Celestron filters with some odd optical qualities! Green in particular produced a big lateral diffraction spike which I did not attempt to remove in post processing.

R - 30 x 120s

G- 30 x 120s

B - 30 x 120s

L - 80 x 120s

Gain 129 @ -10c

No filter used for L frames which were taken at a Bortle 4 site outside of Houston, TX
