Description

I reprocessed my data of this scary nebula in Cassiopeia. Collected with my Esprit double rig on the Mesu 200. Esprit 150 with ASI071 caught the RGB (17 x 10 min at gain 200) and Esprit 100 with ASI1600MM caught the Ha (13 x 15 min at gain 139). Ha added to the red channel using blend mode Lighten in PS. I here used the EZ star reduction script in PS to suppress the starfield and bring the phantom out, which made it quite a bit better than my first version of this image.
