Gamma Cygni Region

What would we do without Ha.  The Moon was 98% and the transparency was pea soup.  The Moon was red with a deep haze around it.  The sky removed from the Moon seemed a bit thinner and some stars were visible, so I decided to proceed.  Fortunately, seeing was good.  The sky  often appears hazy when the Moon is full when really its just Moon-wash.  In my case, the reddish haze was localized to the south.  I wanted to capture this target using the TOA 130 for a very long time and I finally got around to it.  I think it makes a strong mono image but I am very much looking forward to completing this in a SHO palette and possibly an HaRGB or HaLRGB.  I just wish I had a bigger sensor!

TOA 130 with ASI 1600: 59 300 sec Ha.

I used some old fsq SII and OIII data to render an HaSHO image. The stars are all TOA Ha.
