Description

The best 7 /12 hours from 12 hours of exposures between August and September 2020

The SII HA OIII pallet took some playing around so without resorting to layer masking, I settled on selecting the hue that best revealed the inner tendrils on blue. Complaints about the color are welcome 😅😜

Another object to revisit next year with improved technique but now it is just too hot to leave my gear setup in the backyard pump shed I use as an observatory (at over 45 degrees). Cooling systems under investigation but in the Southern Hemisphere winter is where it all happens anyway.
