This image was another collaboration with
@Adrenaline where we shared our Ha and OIII. It comprises a total of 23.75 hours of Ha and 11 hours of OIII. The Ha data is a mix of mosaic data and "all in one" where our differing setups attempted to cover the whole of the nebula.
The capture for this was started on 17th November 2021 and include subs from 17Nov21, 05Dec21, 07Dec21, 10Dec21, 28Dec21, 01Jan22, 03Jan22, 06Jan22 and 21Jan22. Most of the data was captured by both of us with the Samyang 135 @ F2.6 (with stop down ring). A little Ha was done with my RedCat.
I'm not sure if one or both of us are finished shooting this, but after many attempts I've settled on an image I don't want to immediately throw in the bin!
If you've imaged this yourself you know how weak some of the data is and how it feels like there's even more compromises than normal! My main trade off was leaving a busy starfield - which I personally like as I think the nebula still stands out enough.
There's a lot of intricate detail within this nebula that I want to explore a little closer at a later date.
Thanks for looking!
