Description

I had something of a nightmare collecting the data for this one. It's a pretty low target from my location so down in the murk, plus I discovered that even with my telescopic pier the observatory wall ruined lots of subs. My goal was 6x300 Lum and 3x600 each RGB. It took me a couple of nights to shoot them; then when I processed them the L proved unusable, so this is an RGB only image.
