Description

My last shot of this important region for this year, combining the things I've learned for 2021 - and finally some clear skies after a rather long "June gloom" that only seemed to appear when the moon wasn't 90% illuminated.  Here's to learning more for 2022.  Taken from my backyard in Ventura, CA (Bortle 6-7ish depending on who burned down what that night).

Using longer exposure time at unity gain instead of blasting it way up and going shorter subs.  (hooray less noise)
Better calibration frame creation and understanding. 
Better software and some more experience processing.
