Cats Paw Bi-colour NB

hi,

had a change to image for a bit last night from my backyard so tried the cats paw in narrowband.
I managed to get only 60mins of Ha and 10mins of S2 before clouds rolled in.

so here's a bi-colour of the cats paw, bit noisy due to lack of data but I will be adding more over the next few days. its always been one of my fav nebula and I need to do it justice.

I haven't stretched it too much to hide the noise and gradients, but I will once I add more data.

stacked in maxim, processed in startools

this was the first real test of my Orion steadystar AO, I'm very impressed with how it handled my OTA's flexure and wind.
I'm changing the OTA to a 7mm foam core Carbon fibre OTA, so once that's done, the AO will only be correcting my EQ6's dance.

6 x 10min Ha - 7nm Baader
1 x 10min S2 - 8nm Baader
