Description

A labour of love over the last few weeks with generally dismal overcast (and rainy) August skies. I have combined Ha and LRGB to give a composite image using PixelMath as well as scripts. Ideally I'd like to capture more data and longer Ha subs. We'll see how the weather fares.

This is the first light with my new QSI683wsg-8 ccd along with its integral off-axis guiding. I'm very pleased with the result, but may well revisit over the coming days as you reflect on the image.

Revision B - slight Curves adjustment

Thanks for looking and C&C always welcome.
