Description

The original image was my first image posted to Astrobin in June 2021 using an AT60ED refractor,  533mc camera and l-eXtreme filter on an little AZGTi mount.  It had 6 hours of integration and I was just learning the basics of image processing.

I decided to revisit this target two years later with the same 60mm refractor but with a much better mount (EQ6R Pro) and a mono camera 294mm.  This revision was shot with 5 minute Ha and Oiii subs, and I finally figured out how to add RGB stars to narrowband data using Astro Pixel Processor.  The total imaging time was about 6 hours which is similar to the original.

Thanks for looking.

Mark
