Description

This was the last image I took in the backyard before installing my scope in our Remote Observatory in Southeast Arizona. Not a bunch of integration by my current standards, but certainly an amount that felt borderline unreasonable while still imaging at home in Denver. I was super impressed with the level of sharpness and resolve out of this scope, veil seems to bring out the best for sure. The processing was pretty straightforward, I used both the Single Channel Denoising and Independent Starless processing methods described on my website. I had considered getting RGB stars for it, but I was quite pleased with how the HOO narrowband stars came out. Hope y'all enjoy!
