Description

Changed my usual workflow a bit for this one.

1) Increased exposure time from 2mins to 5 mins (kept total integration at 2hrs)

2) Added Dither option while guiding to RA (this added a minute per frame!)

3) Since I used the Optolong L-eNhance filter, the data is Ha/Oiii/Hb. I used Astropixel Processor to extact Ha and Oiii while stacking.

4) I then created the HOO final image in Photoshop, using a synthesized green channel generated from red (Ha) & Blue (Oiii) channels
