This is a total reprocess of some data from 2018. It was my very first narrowband image, with what I consider my first dedicated astrophotography setup. New processing tools and techniques have come forward since this data was first acquired, and my skills as a processor have developed as well. I still have all the original data for nearly all my projects, so I thought I would give it another go.
I also want to give a shout out to Astrobin user and CNer
Bill Long, who helped me find and purchase this scope. Bill also gave me an initial set of processing skills, and I credit his mentoring with accelerating my development in the hobby by what is likely to be measured in years. Bill has spent many a night logged in to my system helping me configure, optimize, and troubleshoot various systems over past few years.
