Halloween is coming and so are a lot of fun fall targets. Here is the 1st I invested 14 hours in this image (168-5min) light frames which was probable a waste of 7 hours as I don't think I gained that much more detail with the 2600mc, a OSC camera. Taken 9/23 + 9/24/23 Its one of my favorite...

Still working on this, but getting close I think. SH2-132 the Lion, taken in N Illinois last week in heavy light pollution. Right at 8 hours of 5 min subs. WOGT 71 and my Optolong extreme filter. Do you think it has too much contrast?
