Strikingly cool capture and processing Steve!
I really like it!
Nice to see the ED102 in service. Of course, with your setup, I guess it is always “on the ready”.
I plan to install my second EAF (5v) on my ED102 today.
Still have some more wide field stuff to shoot with a Sharpstar if I ever get a break in the weather.

Thank you Jim… the ED102 is always on the ready but hasn't been used much since I got the Raptor. I put the reducer back in, as it was giving me fits with the
RGB filters with a distinct light circle across the entire image. I didn't like imaging at F10 either. I don't see the light circles in NB, as it's very faint and doesn't get thru them.

Thank you Kathy.
It's not your standard SHO palette colors but I'm very sub-standard.

Non-standard, definitely, and I like non-standard interpretations. Definitely not substandard.

Beautiful work Steve. You controlled the dynamic range very nicely. Well done. I like the psychedelic colors. Tricky business doing HDR processing with NB imaging.

Definitely NOT sub-standard! In fact, I'm willing to start calling it the SteveMac Palette!
How do you feel about publishing the color channel info on this, the SteveMac palette?

LOL, that's funny Jay.
I don't have the exact stats of the color subs captured. All I know it was a lot of TOT over a couple of months combined.
