    Description

    I meant to let some of this data ride from the WSP for a while before processing, but it has been so long since I had anything, I couldn't resist. I still have a few more to do, but thought I'd share this one now. This was the target I was most excited about on the trip. Unfortunately, I goofed and didn't grab my rgb subs first and we ended up only having a couple of nice nights and I ran out of clear sky time to grab the rest of the data on this. To get the red frames for the stars, I actually shot outside my hotel room in what felt like a glaring white zone, but I was able to grab it. I planned on 3x the subs I got, but will have to do with this for now since it is unshootable from my location. Maybe I'll get another stab next year. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this target and please feel free to leave any C&C's. Thanks for looking!

    Version B has a slight increase in brightness/saturation due to it not showing very well on all monitors.
