Thanks, Joe. I prefer LRGB as well, but occasionally like to do a Hubble palette version. The moon was too bright for a decent outcome in true color. My light grasp is limited with the Borg so it isn't a very deep image, but it was fun to do. It also kept me occupied while waiting for the tube from Germany.

Spectacular, Tyler! Thanks, Joe PS: I still prefer the colors from the LRGB combo just because they're more familiar, but this is a wonderful view.

Hello all.
I imaged again for a while last night with the little Borg 45ED scope. The moon was pretty bright, so I decided to try collecting some narrowband photons. The image includes 7 x 5 minutes each in Ha, OIII, and SII, mapped with the Hubble palette: all binned 2x2 on the camera. I cropped away the edges to get rid of the elongated stars, but the rest turned out pretty good, especially considering the scope aperture is only 1.77 inches. Take a peek!
