i just keep shooting this thing...
the L for this image was collected from the dark skies of SRO with an AT10RC. it turns out the scope was badly out of collimation and i did not have the time to go out and fix it, so we replaced the telescope after only about a month and a half of service.
the RGB here was imaged with a 12" newt (lightbuckets-0005) before the L was collected, but there's only about an hour from that OTA. the balance was taken with an FSQ-106, drizzled, and then upscaled.
so the image is kind of a mess but it's almost presentable. i think maybe it got pushed a little too much to the purple.
