Description

Two sets of RGB color images were taken with a ZWO 071MC-Pro camera on a C14 EdgeHD telescope with a Hyperstar f/2 attachment and guided by a ZWO 224MC on a Redcat51. The two sets of images (60 frames at 10sec and 30 frames at 60sec exposure) were stacked, combined for high dynamic range, and further processed in PixInsight. A set of 3min exposures was planned but we were cut short by clouds and one 60sec exposure was not used due to an enthusiastic plane.
