First attempt at Dolphin head Nebula Edit: added a second image
Taken over 2 nights 8 hours in total 300 and 600 second images
Optolong L-extreme
ZWO Asi 294mc Pro
ASIAIR Pro for acquisition
TSoptics 130 APo and 0.75 riccardi reducer
The image from the sensor, especially Ha showed that dreaded sensor pattern that the 294mc pro is infamous for however the O3 was very clean. Combined rgb in astropixel processor then the rest in Photoshop. Gradient exterminator did a great job cleaning up the background.

I'll work on this further as soon as I set up my other machine which allows me to do better processing.
I have added a second image which I added more Ha not sure yet..
