Description

This image is a compilation of about 13 hours of data shot at F2 using the Celestron RASA 8.
Shot over a few nights this summer, I captured about 8 hours of RGB data using the Celestron light pollution filter and about 5 hours using the NBZ filter for Ha and OIII data. My goal was to try to bring out much of the faint nebulosity in the outer arms, as well as the Ha nd OIII in the emission nebulae.
