Description

Another collaboration between myself and @Bostronomy - this time going wide field and hitting up the Cygnus Loop. I had a LOT of issues getting this to work correctly using Astro Pixel Processor, but after a month, I finally got it where I felt like it worked alright.

122 x 300s
Radian Raptor 61 / Canon EOS Ra / Optolong L-eNhanced Filter

87 x 300s
RedCat 51 / ZWO asi2600mc / Optolong L-eNhanced Filter

My data with the Raptor was taken over three nights, Bostronomy's was taken over 4

Stacked and basic calibration done in Astro Pixel Processor. Final processing done in Photoshop.
