Another dual scope image.  SHO subs were collected with FSQ 106 and Ha for luminance was collected with TOA 130.  Seeing was decent for the Ha luminance data, which helps.  I should point out that in PI, there is luminance and lightness  (referred to a CEIL L*A*B).  Luminance is added to RGB images (broadband), and Ha is added as CEIL L*A*B lightness in SHO images.  

FSQ 106 about 21 hours Ha, OIII, and SI;TOA about 3.5 hours Ha

I'm relatively new to all this. But seeing images like this, is exactly the reason why I wanted to try the hobby myself. What a beautiful image

Thanks, Bri.  Welcome aboard.  I hope you are blessed with plenty of clear skies.  I am glad you found inspiration in the image

I hope to be blessed soon now that the nights are slowly coming in. Looking forward to collecting and learning a lot more 👍
