Description

About 4 Hours LRGG on VDB 65 and SH2-241 in Auriga. One hour of HA added in to the red and blue channels. Images were taken from an area that is nominally about 21.7 MPASS at the zenith - but the Zodiacal light was bright and washed out a fair amount of the sky.

Sequences are hard, so I took extra green instead of blue. I made a synthetic Blue channel by subtracting G and R from the Luminance - it didn't work great.

I had an additional 26 hours of HA from an 18-17 MPASS zone to add. These subs were contaminated with various non-image train reflections/lightleaks and contained curious moon/LP gradients and were not included.

The epsilon collimation didn't (as always) survive the drive so there's excessive tilt present in the top right and bottom left corner - it's mostly obliterated/overly sharpened with BlurXterminator.
