With a couple of long-overdue clear night here in Sydney I thought I’d aim at this well-imaged favourite that I’ve never actually taken on myself before. Juuuust managed to squeeze it into the fov too!
I thought with 2 nights I’d be able to walk away with a bit more data but there was a fair bit of cloud coming through in the early morning so only ended up with 5.5hrs with the dual band L-Ultimate filter and 45min no-filter for stars.
Guiding and conditions were excellent on the first night, terrible on the second, so guess it balances out to kinda average overall…
Stacked and Ha/Oiii extraction in APP, and processed combined in PI. Final touches in LightRoom.
