Description

This my 2024 version of this iconic spring galaxy. Taken with both of the big scopes and the 2600's. I don't know if I am happy with the color/saturation of this image. Only the Ha data was taken with the RC10. The Lum and OSC RGB color was captured with the C11EdgeHD.  All data captured at 1x1 bin on both camera's. I think when I get back from the Total Eclipse expedition I will have to tweak the collimation on the C11EdgeHD.
