Description

Messier 48 - an open star cluster in Hydra. According to the Interweb the cluster is 1,500 light years away and is 300 million years old.

16 x 600 seconds each of LRGB. Once the RGB image was assembled, I extracted Luminance and added this to the 'regular' Luminance for a 'Super Luminance'.
