Exposure B 90m, G 120m, R 130m, L 140m, Ha 80m
I would have liked more Blue and Ha, but sometimes you have to just work with what you were able to get.


The Ha made a big difference to the final image--it was a bit anemic and overwhelmed by stars with just a straight LRGB

That is very good image. The stars are lovely and bright and give the image quite a lift.

Thanks Mike. Just don’t eyeball the ones in the neb too closely.

Thanks Greg. It’s always a bit of a balancing act between the stars and the neb in a mixed field
