Losmandy G11/Gemini mount. The OIII and H-alpha subframes were 15 minutes binned 1x1, while the
RGB subframes were 4 minutes binned 2x2 resulting in the following total exposures L:R:G:B =
(OIII+HA):(R+Ha): (G+OIII): (B+OIII) (min) = (240+300): (64+300): (64+240):(64+240). Captured with
Nebulosity, calibrated, sigma combined in Iris with other processing using PixInsight LE and
Photoshop CS. North is up.
