My first project was an EAPOD - 30.03.2021

This capture represents a set of Ha lights with the Baader HighSpeed f/2 filter and practically the first capture with the large Hyperstar 4 C11 telescope.
It was made on February 4 at a temperature of -12 ° degrees but with perfectly clear skies.
The color capture was made using a SW Ed80 telescope and a Color camera, on March 3, through the clouds and with Orion located at 25 °degrees above the Bucharest area (SQML 18).
The color signal input was very weak, the processing being a real challenge, but I managed to bring a little color in this exposure.
I waited to catch at least one more good night for astrophotography, without the Moon, but so far without success.
So I decided to make this project public.
