Description

Three beautiful clear nights in a row! Only problem... moon! Not as much a problem for narrowband... Got out the ol' tracker and dslr/lens combo for some wider field stuff... the old Canon 300mm f2.8 wide open isn't super sharp, but I went with it. Imaged near full moon, so Oiii was pretty washed out. Hardly any Oiii around the crescent without an extra masked stretch around it as well as considerably boosting saturation. I may try to add more to this later.

HOO palette + RGB stars (just used UV/IR cut and stopped down to f/5ish with aperture mask for stars)
