Hi all! :hi:
This is my latest (and personally, my greatest) astrophoto!
Boy, was this an absolute nightmare to colour balance! the DSLR's low sensitivity to Ha gave me a hard time trying to pull out red to get a more natural colour balance. Taken from my bortle 6 backyard, with 4 hours total integration time. The 200kb limit makes this pic look kinda crap. (links to full res below)
I have included a green version (without pushing the red), and a red version that more accurately represents the colour. which one is better to my eye? not sure! :shrug:
