I feel like a lot of the Ha is being subdued?
It's just a neutral color when that region is all Ha and OIII.
Regardless the sharpness is incredible

It is not buy. They just assign right to use occupy and use the observatory to the members.
There is initial assignment fee. Also annual renewal fee. Also, long waiting line
mortal aspen

mortal aspen
I wish I had enough clear skies that I can just afford to dump 30 hours of data away

I never counted but I would say more than 280 clear nights.
