To image this I used my Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM Lens set at f4.0 with a ZWO ASI294MC Pro and an IDAS NBZ filter all set on an Atlas Pro (yes a little overkill). This is one of my favorite setups that I have grown to love for its wide field. I managed to capture 20 hours of usable data although I collected much more but I was imaging when the moon was out and that data was very poor quality so did not use it.
There was hardly any noise as a result of collecting so many frames. The time consuming part of processing was highlighting the OIII region and merging the starless image with the star mask. I am not a big fan of starless processing mainly because I am not good at bringing stars back really well but am happy with what I did this time so maybe I am getting better at it.
