This image was taken with a 7nm Baader HA filter, taken through the 72ED, reduced with a WO 0.8 and the Nikon D5300 24x300secs @iso400(2hrs). Stacked in DSS using the superpixel mode and a quick flash through PS2022. I'll add more HA to it when it clears up. 2hrs was all nature permitted me.
Reprocessed image for "some" extended nebulosity, brighter and a touch smoother; my best wizard image to date. Wait a minute...It's my first For best viewing...right click on the image>select Open in new tab>select tab>click the image for max magnification.
So which do you prefer ???
