NGC6888 Ha From Home

[RobertM]

Been meaning to revisit this with a bit more resolution since my last effort with the Sky90 and SXV-H9  Curiously the SW MN190 + ML8300 has almost exactly the same field of view so I'm not quite sure it was worth the extra effort.

This has been more heavily processed than the HS image I just posted which has had virtually no processing other than simple levels and curves.  Even so it's interesting to compare the two - I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

Fantastic image!

Maybe the best H-alpha image of this I've ever seen.   Lovely big scale with excellent detail!
