The Witch Head (a Work in progress)

[carastro]

Went to our little campsite in East Sussex this weekend as an impromptu session.  I had planned 2 targets as my main aim was to image the Witch Head since I live in Bortle 8.  It was one of those nights where so many things went wrong, and things that have never happened before.  Consequently I never got the firsdt target at all, I ended up having my dinner at 11.30pm having given up on the first target, and while waiting for Orion to rise.  Then things continued to go wrong, so I never managed to get going until about 2,.30 am.  So this is less data than I had hoped.

My long term plan is to get Ha and some more RGB which I think I can do from home (either side of a miscreant tree next door!!), and if I get a chance get some more luminance at some point.

So this is stage 1.  Rigel is rather overbearing, but I did my best to reduce it as much as I could.  

Lum 10 x 600
RGB 10 x 600 each
total 3 hours 20m
