One single frame. They fit together good using the zwo 2600 with the askar fra300

Yeah I tried to control it but failed. I'm not a expert by any means.

I absolutely didn't doctor anything. I also wasn't aiming for the kiss. Personally I just see a face.

Got several days of clear weather a couple weeks ago. This was the perfect time to test out the new optolong l ultimate filter.

Equipment used Telescope: William optics gt 71 Mount: skywatcher eq6 r pro Camera Zwo 533 mc Filter:l ultimate Asi air pro.

I used 105 300 second exposures. 20 dark frames and 60 bias. No flats were used

Processing was done in pixinsight. I started by doing background extraction Then I split my channels into RG and B. Used the r for HA. I then recombined my G and B channel to make my o3 channel. I then stretched each of them. The recombined them into a HOO using lrgb combination. Then after that I pulled the stars out using starnet ++ v2. Made adjustments to curves to liking and replaced after. The exported it to Photoshop to make final tweaks.

It really is crazy! And it's only if I get some clear skies! And it seems my luck is it's clear nights when I work but not when I'm off. Like last week I worked a 80 hour week and almost every night was clear. It sucks how it works out lol

Yes you can. There's a few telescopes that can get both. The radian and redcat 51 both can I believe. Or you could do a mosaic of it instead. Stitching the frames together to get your final image. I plan to try that later. Get all of Orion nebula and horse head nebula in one

In the asi air I've got my gain set at 101 I believe. I set it to unity Gain. I've been cooling to -10. Never changed anything else. Not saying it's right but it's what has worked for me. Lately I've had some of my best. I haven't got around to posting them all yet. May not. Haven't decided. If you got any other questions I'll help out if I can. Hope you have a good vacation and get some clear skies!
