Notes |
This image started in 2019 at my very first imaging workshop held at the Comanche Springs Astronomy Campus. That is where I collected 22 exposures at 900 seconds each for the Ha (H-Alpha) channel. Then, in 2022, I had the opportunity to grab OIII data. The final result is a bi-color narrowband combine. |
