I haven't posted in quite some time. I have quite a few images to share but this is my most recent project. About 29 hours of imaging on the Flying Bat and Squid Nebulas. The flying bat is the red portion of the image and the squid is the blue part of the image. The details of the squid alone I captured 20 hours worth of data on using an OIII filter. About 8 hours of Ha data and 1 hr of RGB data for the stars.
