Description

One of the first targets every novice astro photographer captures, I decided to revisit this target six years later. The first time was only an hour's worth of five minute exposures and the result had almost no color in it.

This time, it was 33 sub frames of five minutes each. The color was produced by following Zbynek Vrastil's Pixinsight tutorial on Assisted Color Calibration. Thank you sir for demystifying the use of this tool.
