Title: The Crescent - Under a Near Full Moon
Post by: Colorado_CJ on June 16, 2019, 07:56:05 pm

Shot this last night under Bortle 6-7 skies and a near full moon. The LRGB images were extremely faint, with very little data of the nebula present. The Hydrogen-Alpha data was much more detailed.

I need to shoot some OIII and SII data the next chance I get.

MN190 Mak Newt
ASI183MM Pro
EQ6R-Pro
SW 72ED Guide Scope
ASI120MC-S Guide Camera

H-Alpha: 10, 500 second exposures.
Lum: 30, 60 second exposures
Red: 30, 60 second exposures
Green: 30, 60 second exposures
Blue: 30, 60 second exposures

So, just guessing from the list of exposures necessary to create this image, it must have taken all night just to get this one image. Right?  Amazing.

Also, thanks for sending me to Wikipedia to find out who Bortle was.  :)
