About this image

This is a mix of data from OSC (3 hours) and Mono (4.5 hours). I found the OSC colours can appear a bit washed out - possibly due to light pollution and filter used.  The Mono gives more colour and I also used an Ha filter to get some signal from the nebulae in the spiral arms.

Lovely image, AsiAir Pro is great - I couldn't live without it. Just wish the weather was better :)
