Finally, there is an opportunity for mobile astrophotography. So far, I haven't gone far from the city. I can't say the sky is super great, but the Milky Way is at least somewhat visible. I had hoped dawn would come a bit later, so I miscalculated and didn't have time to shoot the blue channel for the stars. So I had to leave the stars as narrowband. Previously, I tried making narrowband stars using different scripts, but this time, as an experiment, I simply did it in the HOO palette - and I personally really liked the result. I probably couldn't tell them apart from RGB right away. And the nebula itself is in my favorite Foraxx palette (a script for Pixinsight by Paulyman Astro).
