2007 with a DSI Pro II and Outback Cooler and a Pentax SMC-M 135mm lens. H-alpha subframes (using an
Astronomik 13nm filter) were 240 sec and 150 sec @ f4 while the RGB subframes were 60 sec at f4.
Total exposure of Ha:Ha+R:G:B (min) = 136:136+31:38:38. Color balance was achieved via numerically
scaled channels using a G type field star. Captured with Envisage, calibrated and sigma combined in
Iris with other processing using PixInsight LE and Photoshop CS. North is up.
