Starship Asterisk*

Flying Bat and Squid nebulae (Sh2-129/OU4) 88h 10m over 20 nights. SpaceCat51/ASI2600MMC. Processing in Pixinsight. This has got to be one of the toughest images I've processed. Despite having 54 hours of OIII, a lot of work had to be done to bring out OU4. The stars are RGB and were added to replac...

Sh2-129/ OU4, The Flying Bat and Squid Nebula This is it, the culmination of the entire summer's worth of imaging. My region did not get out from under the winter/spring permacloud until late May, then came thick wildfire smoke, which pretty much stuck around in varying thickness for the entire sum...
