IC1318 - Butterfly Nebula

[mcbbcn]

Hi Everyone,

I feel like I just made a good friend Adam (tooth_dr), as he recommended me an awesome luminance filter, and he motivated me to post some of my images, so here I go. This image was taken from Portland, OR, USA. It's a Bortle 8 sky the specific location where I'm imaging from. Basically, I'm downtown.

What you see it's a little bit over 90min (5min. subs) of Ha (QHY9M CCD) and 90min of color (QHY8L CCD).  The OSC image and the Ha image were calibrated and integrated using Astro Pixel Processor (APP) and the image acquisition with SGP. I wish I could take credit for the blending and final processing, which it was done by one of my AP mentors (Neil) and he's very experienced with image processing.

Best,

Miquel
