Description

Broadband data with Ha signal addition

The picture I wanted to take for a looong time. I noticed these 3 colorful stars in the vicinity of M106 in Stellarium at the beginning of my astrophotography journey and I wanted to take this exact frame since my APS-C sensor and 800mm focal length were just perfect for this task. I tried and... I failed miserably. I remember there was something wrong with the 12 hours of data which I gathered. This time it's a different story.

The conditions for data acquisition were far from perfect. Poor transparency, passing clouds and the object moving to a light polluted part of the sky later in the night forced me to discard about 45% of all broadband frames I took. I was much less picky regarding narrowband data since I had much less time to get it.
