Here's a shot I've been sitting on for about...6 months. Stupid COVID, I had done pretty much all the subs for this, but got so busy with other stuff I completely forgot about finishing it, all I had to do was get new dark frames for calibration. So I put this edit together really quick yesterday, it's such an interesting feature with tons of dust and makes a very "artsy" SHO target. Shot with an ASI183mm Pro on a William Optics GT81 with a Sirius EQ-G mount, gain 178 offset 11. 90 x 5' subs for H-alpha 90 x 5' subs for Oiii 83 x 5' subs for Sii PixInsight Calibrated, registered, and stacked Each stack aligned to H-alpha DynamicBackgroundExtraction Stretched with EZ Processing Suite Combined channels with PixInsight Saved as BMP for editing in Photoshop In Photoshop I did mostly curves and saturation enhancements before uploading.
Another "drive by" quick imaging session of a target that is part of my massive mosaic, this one of the Veil Nebula. I managed a quick 1 hour per filter session last night before clouds moved in, tried desperately to not push the editing of the precious little data that's there. This is such a hard target, it really is a delicate veil and I think the vast majority of people push their editing too far. I'd love to push the total integration time up to 3-4 hours per filter to get a really good wide shot to go with my more tightly framed Eastern Veil image from earlier this year. Another target that's getting late in the year to shoot, really limited to maybe 3-4 hours in a night right now before it gets too low on the horizon.
