    Description

    This is an interim processing of my Squid Nebula data collected over last fall and this spring. I plan to go much deeper on the target, but an impending move and work travel leave me unsure when I will get to finish the target and I was excited to see it with some RGB stars in there. This is 35 x 60 min subs with three different scopes for the OIII data and 6 hours worth of RGB subs from a red zone for the stars. As always, C&C's are much appreciated and thanks for looking!

    Version A - original processing

    Version B - more blue

    Version C - more color in the stars and nebula

    Version D - reduced star size to let nebula stand out more
