Description

This is an HaGB image which is combination of two different images taken with different scopes and cameras (and pixel scales).

RGB: Taken with a ZWO ASI183MC Pro using a Celestron C6 and Hyperstar (F/2, fl 300mm), pixel scale 1.65 arc seconds. The red channel was discarded after experimenting with different mixing ratios with the Ha. Pure Ha gave the best result.

Ha: Taken with a ZWO ASI071MC Pro using the Optolong L-eXtreme and Sharpstar 61 EDPHII (F/4.4, fl 270mm), pixel scale 3.6 arc seconds

They were combined using StarAlignment in PixInsight with scaling enabled.
