Description

This was just supposed to be the first test image using wide band filters on a traditionally narrowband nebula target under my reasonably-dark magnitude 20.5 skies. Also was first time I really processed the stars and nebulosity separately, which was critical as the image started out very star-dominated (a testament to how well the MX+ tracks combined with the performance of the NP127is & the amazing sensor on the 6200mcp). 

Testing-aside, I literally said "Wow!" out loud when I saw the final result--as did my better half!

Overall a very promising result for this first experiment that I'm excited to follow up on in the coming clear nights!

Hope you all enjoy and if you have any tips or input please feel encouraged to comment! I am still very new to restarting the hobby and so have a voracious appetite for constructive feedback right now

Best,
E
