Description

This used much of last year's data, but everything else started over again so is posted as "new".

I ran 3  (albiet shorter) nights of Ha  this round and I can't really tell much improvement past maybe 10 hours. Smooth? Yes. Noiseless? Yeah, not much noise when you intergrate 700 subs from a cooled camera. Detail and depth? Not really. Maybe if I ran different data- Oiii, or Sii, but a point would come where the effectiveness of more subs becomes questionable.

Is it possible to get more from more data? Perhaps, but iMHO a person's seeing, light pollution, and gear is only going to give so much detail and depth.

I was just too lazy to put in accurate dates for all the data, so listed in as either Ha or OSC.
