Description

I shot this target last year with a one-shot color and the Triad filter and after 20 hours, I realized I am not going to get much O3 so just stopped and processed what I had. 

I went after it this time and added as much data I could in the last several nights. I was not planning on RGB stars, but the O3 stack showed a halo around the bright star Alnath, so wanted to test with RGB filters as well. Blue stack showed the halo too and I have to re-test this soon by flipping the filters. As I had collected data in RGB, I decided to add the RGB stars. 

I am pleased with how this has turned out. Hope you like it. Clear skies!
