Description

This is NGC 896 shot from my backyard over two nights.  I was so happy with how well this came out considering the moon phase, the l-enhance definitely came through.  I've been shooting for about a year now and this is one of my best images to date.  It's the  longest total integration time I've done as I've gotten more comfortable with my equipment and can get setup earlier.  For editing, I did a color Ha-OIII CFA algorithm in AstroPixelProcessor, then reprocessed extracting the HA.  I processed each image and then placed the HA version over the color as a luminosity layer in photoshop to bring out more detail.
