Description

Not easy to process. Also "RGB-only" data seems not to be sufficently enough to bring out the outer details of that object. Did not expect that. Data aquisition was very smooth. No temp shifts, stable guiding. Round stars, not those Cassegrain ones. Also again, I was struggeling to protect background and the stars togehter while applying some processes to the object itself. Assume that I could not let the matter rest... :-)

Pls compare to the widefield version done with the WO GTF 81 and the same camera:
