Description

Imaging Notes:

I felt like the focus was a little soft. I realized this about 3/4 of the way through the session and decided to roll with it and keep my fingers crossed it would end up alright.

I was able to get 3 hours and 35 minutes of total integration – essentially from the moment it rose above the trees to the East until the ambient light from the pending sun rise began to wash out the nebula.

Processing Notes:

Stacked and channels separated in Astro Pixel Processor –

– Extracted Ha & Oiii, simulated Sii with Ha-Oiii Mono

Processed in Photoshop
