Description

UPDATED

The weather changed unexpectedly for the better last night allowing me to shoot Ha along with some more luminance. As a result, this revision is the HaLRGB image that I was hoping to obtain. The galaxy has some fairly strong Ha signal which changes the dynamic over a conventional LRGB image.

I've been dealing with crazy weather having afternoon thunderstorms popping up which is very unusual this time of year. In between storms, I managed to shoot LRGB for NGC4449, The Box Galaxy. I imaged this previously with my C6 but the Edge did a much better job with this fascinating galaxy. I had hoped to add Ha tonight but the weather is looking pretty questionable right now. If things clear later I'll set up and revise this later.
