NGC7000 - The Cygnus Wall - Fire and Ice

A great night at the John Glenn Astronomy Park was mostly wasted due to error I made with guiding calibration and new mount iPolar camera calibration mistakes. Also discovered my Sii camera offset was entered as 19 instead of -19. Been that way since first light of this rig, but processed ok. Glad to have tighter focus now. I adjusted for these issues during a trip I took to Branson, MO where the majority of the subs came from. Though bortle 6, the skies were decent and guiding on point throughout. I also utilized Bill Blanchan and Mike Cranfield's Narrowband Normalization Process in Pixinsight. I highly recommend it.

Stars are RGB simulated from separate SHO channel blend in PixelMath and added back to starless SHO processed image:

R = Ha
G = Ha*0.2+Oiii*0.8
B = Oiii
