This data set was acquired from my bortle 7 skies in South Florida using a new set of OPTOLONG 36mm

SHO-3nm Narrowband filters I win from a Master’s of PI workshop workshop I attended a few weeks ago. I also used the recorded workshop video to help me along the way with several new techniques I learned from Warren Keller’s process.
The scope I used is what is turning our to be my favorite scope I owned so far, the Askar FRA 400 and MY QHY268 cmos mono camera. This set up is gather some of the best data I have ever gathered!.
This is 4hrs ha, 3 hrs S2 an O3.
