Description

This is the result of a first experiment where I took OIII data from a dark site and combined it with the other narrowband images from the city.
It is an obvious strategy as the oxygen line is much more susceptible to light pollution.
The result is interesting as I was able to get very nice OIII background information in addition to the obvious shapes originating from the supernova explosion expansion structure.
This was also the longest exposure that I used with this CMOS sensor (20min) and it worked great.
I chose SHO variant as opposed to HOO or H/S-OO as it shows some details about individual distributions of hydrogen and sulfur elements.
