Telescope: PlaneWave Instruments CDK20
Mount: Software Bisque Paramount ME

MOAG, SBIG STLCFW-8, SBIG AO-L
Exposures: Ha = 8x30min, OIII = 8x30min. Total = 8 hours. Binned 1×1
Processing: The LRGB construction was formed with the following: L =
25% OIII, 75% Ha; R = Ha; G = Avg(Ha,OIII), B = OIII. This is a
variation of the “bicolor” narrowband technique. Data reduction in
CCDSoft and Processing in Adobe PhotoShop CS.
