Description

I don't usually image from my backyard during the winter simply because the snow exacerbates the light pollution. But this winter I tried t overcome it by capturing 187 x RGB frames of this bright duo and combining them with 23 x Ha frames. Then I did my best to get rid of the gradients but unfortunately I eliminated all traces of the IFN in the process making this familiar pair look somewhat lost in this wide field.
