Description

Working on the California Nebula from the rooftop... My Oiii data is nothing but problems, with no usable signal with 6' subs. The Ha data, however, is very nice! I've picked up a few new methods for processing, relying less and less on non-PI solutions in my workflow, and trusting more in the capabilities of PixInsight itself to produce a quality result.

I still need to work out some kinks with offline framing, too...I probably could have gotten this one *slightly* better, but I'll continue to work on this as the weather allows.
