Description

I published a version of this back in 2022, but I have since improved my processing skills and added an L-Quad Enhance filter to my repertoire. Because this area of sky only gets about 24 degrees above my horizon, it never really escapes the light pollution and can only be imaged for a few hours per night. Between shooting in low moon conditions with the L-Quad and using the IDAS NBZ to pop the red hydrogen, I'm quite happy with this image despite the relatively short exposure time.
