Description

I got into astrophotography about ten years ago and it's taken me until this year to take a picture of this!

The data which went into this image were the first pictures captured with my new RedCat 51.  I used a triband filter on the ZWO ASI533 and I'd previously stacked those subs with Astro Pixel Processer and saved the extracted Hα and OIII channels.  I combined those channels more recently when I converted to PixInsight using tips and tricks to bring out the blues in the nebula that I'd seen online.

So here it is!  My first picture uploaded to AstroBin :-)
