Equipment details :
ART11002 through Pentax SDHF-75, unguided
Exposure details :
Ha = 153 x 300s (12.75 hours) binned 2x2
Notes:
I took the subs over the course of 4, 3 hour sessions, with the last 2 having very good transparancy.
The 6nm FWHM Baader Ha filter gave good contrast despite the full moon.
Although I took the subs binned 2x2, during processing I used drizzle processing techniques to upscale the data to the unbinned resolution, as well as using Fat tail deconvolution to enhance the detail.
I was very pleased with the results, with nice detail in the extended nebula, especially in the dark globules.
