Here is an image of the nebulous regions around Sadr in Cygnus. This was taken using a FSQ-106 and STL-11000.

Exposure details:
HA=L 7-20min exposures at 1x1
RGB 4-5min exposures at 2x2

Image is less than 50% the full rez is fun to look at with many nice details.

Wow, Mark! I really like that image.

I'm curious how you handled the two different images scales of the binned Ha and unbinned RGB? Did you process the L and then resize it to 50% and then combine with the RGB data?

Thanks,
Michael

Beautiful color and composition on that image, Mark.
I notice some 'mottling' in some areas. Did you use some sharpening software? A less aggressive sharpening might smooth that out.
Thanks for posting that. It's a really pretty image.

Beautiful image. You need a billboard size monitor to see all that!
