Description

M101 is my 3rd image, taken in June, 2023... Continued to learn the basics of my equipment and this was the first use of a dual-band filter, which allowed me to try techniques in PixInsight like channel separations of OSC data & PixelMath integrations of HA. It was captured over 5 nights, working around the cloudy weather of New England!
