Finally after weeks, no months of cloud have collected sufficient data to start my final processing of this DSO. 15 hours of data collected over 4 weeks, been hard work to collect, a lot of patience needed and one new laptop thanks to the rain - who would have thought imaging was so high risk!

Rev A - First pass at data to see how 'clean' it is. More revisions to follow - taking my time with my newl highly prized data.....

Rev B - Reinstated WR136 at the heart of the crescent.

Rev C - Experimenting with sharpening to see how far it can be pushed while maintaining smoothness.

Rev D - Finding the balance between sharpening and the original smoothness that I liked with this image.

Rev E - Final Version for now (touch more detail and WR136 back in play)

Rev F - Little work on detail again - gentle decon and lhe.

Rev G - Fixed crop and slight brightness adjustment after decon process.

Rev H - Few final tweaks and redo of decon - about as far as this edit cycle goes back to the beginning tomorrow to check there is nothing better lurking in the data.

Rev I - Rebuilding using a processing technique that I have developed - requires two further iterations of detail and sharpening. The process is not the quickest but it allows for all of the detail to be extracted with minimal degradation of the data (as you can see buy the sharpness of the stars - if anyone is interested I will create a gif of each layer being added to the image but for now will create the next two versions and get to my final image.

Rev J & K - Next layer of detail and then crop. Almost done! One further level of detail to add then final tweaks update this at weekend ....

Rev L - Final edit with last layer of detail added back in, tried not to bring to much noise in with it as all gets a bit grainy. Other than that I may add RGB stars in the future but not sure if it will add much value.

Rev K - Tried to add some tonal range to crescent and some colour back into stars - limited data available for star colour in NB but used what I had to its maximum. Also toned down some of the softness which some have had mixed feelings about (although I like from an artistic side it may not be technically accurate). If anyone reads this let me know your views
