I forgot I had taken this image earlier this month.
It was new moon so I tried to use the broadband filters and practise processing.
It came out alright.
A total of 23 hours of data capturing.
This was also the first time where I didn't use the laptop but the MeLE mini pc on the mount, controlled from the inside of the house.

Equipment used:
SW HEQ5Pro GOTO
SW ED80
Orion field flattener
Esatto focuser
QHYOAG
ZWO ASI120MM mini
QHYCFW-L3
QHY268M
Optolong RGB filters

Software used:
PHD2
NINA
DSS
Photoshop

Thanks Adam.
I am still finding it hard to process RGB.
I have less trouble with NB images for some reason.

Very well done - the colours are bright and sharp.

Really nice shot! And a lovely field including m21 and the Lagoon having a peek from the side.

Very nice Wilco. Of course, the Triffid looks excelllent, but I also like your natural background with those reds and browns shining through. Great image.
