Description

This image was created by using a opensource dataset offered by Thor’s helmet – Erellaz. This particular target is on my list to targets. I would love to image myself at some point (i will have to travel to do this or pay a remote service to get the data needed) . So as I cannot image this area of the sky it was nice to have a dataset available to process. The dataset did consists of Ha,Oiii,Sii and RGB sets of data. However the RGB dataset produced so many stars it kinda ruined the target. While I did process the rgb set i have stored this away. Its a great target to process and i had fun doing it. The telescope is custom made and specs can be found in link above.
