Wow! 8 hours. What's your longest exposure?

That one, I typically have been doing a couple of hours. This was an experiment to capture the nebula details (H-alpha) during the full moon with a narrowband filter, then combine it with full color from moonless nights. I will be doing all my targets like this going forward. More frames to stack reduces noise and improves faint details.

I've always had an interest in space since my grade school years. Even had, maybe still have a map of this solar system from that time. I've had a decent telescope in my teens. Thought about getting back into it again a few years ago and just haven't. I'm still an armchair astronomer. Please keep posting these fine pics, I love them
