Description

This image was taken in what I thought would be a dark site, but the church in Lefkara turned out to be close to the Airbnb where I stayed, and is lit up like a Christmas tree at night.... 
Composite of 30 x 5min frames (2hr 30m) in Hydrogen alpha and Oxygen III.
William Optics GT71 refractor with focal reducer, ZWO AM5 mount, Optolong L-eNhance filter, ZWO ASI294MC Pro camera, processed in Pixinsight.
