Description

This is my first image done entirely with Pixinsight.
It is a SHO narrow band image, with about 20 hours total exposure time, split evenly between Ha, OIII and SII.
It was calibrated with Darks and Bias, but no flats. Also, no noise reduction, etc in Pixinsight, just WBP, stretching and Curves Transformation. I'm looking forward to learning more functions in Pixinsight!
Images taken with my TEC 140, Astrodon filters, and my new QHY 268mm Cooled camera. The mount is an AP 1100GTO, in my backyard observatory. Skies here are about Bortle 8.
Thank you for any comments or suggestions.
