Techno Stuff: 5/4/07 ATK-16hr, Megrez 80mm APO at F/6 mounted on LX90 8" SCT, Ha Luminance 3x1200secs, OIII 1x900secs SII 1x900secs, Binning 1x1, Luminance Autoguided with Atik-2HS and Guidedog from LX90, OIII and SII Manually Guided, Darks Applied, Photoshop CS2, AstroWave, PixInsight

Notes: This is my first narrowband image made with Ha, OIII, and SII filters. This was taken during a full moon and wind gusts of 20mph which is why I was only able to process a few frames. The top image was processed using the 'Hubble Palette' where SII=Red, Ha=Green and OIII=Blue. The second image made use of the 'CFHT palette' where Ha=Red, OIII=Green and SII=blue. The bottom image is in Halpha.
