Description

Combined 6.5 hours of luminance and 5.5 hours of H-alpha data, to create a synthetic lum, acquired with a 6.6" apo refractor and a QHY600 camera. Color was borrowed from a dataset from 2017 (different setup, better skies), to arrive at this final image. Had to fight sky-glow noise from my Bortle 6-7 backyard sky, which was worsened by the presence of a gibbous moon.
