Hey all,
I've actually gotten some sky in the past few days...
I was also just chased in by the clouds... so I figured I'd post up what I'd been playing around with.
Here's the Witch's Broom, (NGC 6960), with just under 4 hrs in HOO emissions.
10 x 600 of both Ha and OIII
I picked up 7 of 10 SII subs I grabbed last night, but I wasn't happy with the results.
I think it looked better in bicolor.
Thanks for lookin'!
Cheers

Nice job taming 52-cygni Jim. Cygnus has so many great targets.
Indeed.... I could just image this whole area... In fact, I've given it quite a go already!
I plan on continuing that trend.
Thanks for the kind words, John!
Nice, fine detail, yet subtle and not overdone. Nice work.
