Description

Taken during a break in Arizona's Monsoon Season on the nights of 7/30 and 8/1, this image was taken with an ZWO ASI2600mm Pro through a Explore Scientific 127ED with a 0.8x reducer. Ha data was collected during the first night; OIII data the second.

The image comprises:

Ha:     27 x 300s
OIII:    24 x 300s

Total exposure time was four hours and 15 minutes. I had hoped to get more exposure time, but that will wait until September.

The image was processed in PixInsight and StarTools and then tweaked in Photoshop.
