Description

This has been one of the most challenging images I developed so far, as the combination of the Ha with the LRGB was not as straight forward as I thought initially. The data were captured with my RedCat61 + ASI2600MM + Antlia 3nm filters driven by an AM5, from PixelSkiesAstro in Spain, Castillejar, where I have setup my rig.

This region is below the Dark Shark Nebula (LDN 1235) and it has a good portion of Ha, which made it quite interesting to capture - I had to use a combination of the Image Blend script, in combination with some weird Pixel Math on PI and then some additional processing on Photoshop. I found myself moving between PI to PS, in order to bring it to this stage.
