Description

18.1 hrs. integration: 226 L; 76 ea. RGB @120sec; 35 Ha @300 sec -20C.  Bortle 4 skies.

I was hoping that the twin opposing Ha jets on each side of the core would be more prominent but no luck.  I can just start to see the jets forming so it looks like I'll need a lot more Ha.  Unless the Pacific Northwest weather improves before galaxy season closes out, adding Ha will probably have to wait until next year.
