NGC7129 Nebula

[Clarkey]

NGC7129 in Cephus. Approximately 13 hours of HaLRGB data over two nights from early October. Seeing was not as good as I would like. ASI1600MM pro and Stella Lyra RC8, processed in PI. Not too unhappy with the result, but the background is still a bit noisy. Probably pushed the data a little too hard to get the nebula detail.

Constructive criticism and comment welcome.

I think there is more detail in the surrounding grey clouds to bring out, but no idea how to do it.  More exposure time ?  How big is the FoV BTW?

Yes, in think you are right. However, I did not want to push the data any further. Extra integration time would help any image, but it already has about 6 hours of luminance and I was not sure it was worth another night.

FOV is about 0.8 by 0.6 degrees in the image.
