Description

Taken in May 2022  - Oct 2022, on my balcony in Brisbane, QLD, Australia (Bortle 7.5 sky)

2x2 mosaic, each panel is LRGB+Ha, LRGB images were used as source of color and L was also mixed to final L+Ha to achieve maximum details in H-alpha while keeping some dark nebulas on background and reflective part. RGB color balance is photometric (white balance to "average spiral galaxy" color).

Exposures:
169 * 20m  H-alpha (56h 20m)
620 * 2m L+R+G+B (20h 40m)
(Total 77h)
