Lots of firsts for me this one.
First image in my new backyard.
First Narrow band image.
First Time I've mapped in Hubble palette.
I had 15 subs of this taken at 20mins from 2 weeks ago but on Sunday i accidentally set my camera to 30 min subs.
When i came out to check my gear i was blown away how much more detail was dug out with Hydrogen Alpha
.
I discarded my 20 min subs as they added nothing to the image and went with the 30 min subs.
Unfortunately i only managed to get 2 of each filter.
The centre of the diffuse nebula turned out a little over cooked when i mapped in Hubble palette but i liked to colour so much i just left it.
