Witch Head Nebula in Orion (HaRGB)
A faint reflection nebula depicting a fairytale-like crone, hence its name.
The nebula, formally known as IC2118, is associated to the nearby star Rigel, in the constellation Orion.
Its distance from Earth is approx. 900 L/Y.
Shot under Bortle 3 desert skies, Israel
29*300 sec RGB
12*600 sec Ha extract (L-eXtreme)
ZWO 2600 MC Pro
ASIAIR Pro
iOptron CEM25P
ZWO 120 MMs Mono
Used the Ha-Oiii - Ha extract for the OSC stack with the L-eXtreme
Such a great feature.
I combined also the Oiii data in PIXI but, that was too faint for any real difference.

@gideon96 That is a stunning image! What telescope did you use?
@wvreeven
Whoops, didn't mention, the WO RedCat51.
(A lovely recent addition to my wide range optics).
Thank you!
I was lacking more data in RGB imo.
For some reason I had to throw around 6 frames or so, from the start of the RGB session.
I started with the Ha(L-eX) because the Moon was up, and no trouble there, all 12*600sec were perfect.
