I shot Sll+Olll and stacked it in my favorite palette.
It really is a magical shot. Everything went wrong from the very beginning of the shoot in August. I had to throw away some of the shots. Then I adjusted the spider in the telescope, and on the stack with the second filter, I realized something was wrong (the diffraction spikes were misaligned)=).

Both the nebula and the stars. This Wizard really frayed my nerves.
