first light on a new refractor! (WO MightyCat 71 f/3.2)
narrowband image (H-alpha, 3nm) of emission nebulae in the constellation Cygnus
30 mins integration time (6x300s)
stretched mono image mapped equally to RGB, red left basically flat, blue/green lowered in the shadows and boosted in the highlights
(hopefully compression doesn’t fully murder the details… i’m in love with how this palette brings out fine structures as mist channeling through the contours of sharp, rocky terrain)
