Description

There have been many stunning images of this object uploaded to Astrobin in recent times and so it became a natural choice as a summer target for my Esprit 150.  Especially so after I collected my new (to me) CEM120 mount and pair the two together for a first light. 

Processing wise, I created a base HOO image and screened the result of a Foraxx blend into this, courtesy of @Paul Hancock's (PaulymanAstro) Foraxx Palette Utility script. This gives the more orangey tones to the Ha channel which I like. I also used this script to create RGB like stars from the NB data.  The SelectiveColourCorrection tool was used for final colour tweaks.

First light for the CEM120 - the big Esprit gets the mount it deserves.
