The images were taken using a ZWO ASI 294MC camera on a WO Z103 telescope with a WO6AIII reducer/flattener. This combination was essential for capturing the colors of the nebula while putting the nebula at the appropriate size. Alongside these, a Optalong L-Enhance filter was also used. This enhanced the contrast of colors and reduced the effects of light pollution. This resulted in an image with more vibrant colors.

Initially, we planned to capture all images the 7th of November but the computer controlling the telescope and camera crashed after capturing 15 images. Due to this we also imaged the nebula the 8th and captured 52 more images. As the images were being captured, Ekos software was being used to keep the nebula centered in the telescope. This countered any drift and kept the telescopes aligned with the celestial north pole. After the images were collected, SiriL software was used to take out 4 poor quality images, stack the images, reduce noise, and calibrate colors. This is where artistry enters astrophotography as the color saturation and enhancement of colors are done to personal taste which can be a highly creative process.
