Description

The field of view is a bit truncated to show that large expanse of the Heart along with the complexity of the Fish head so I opted for a bit of a compromise. Experimenting with the SHO RGB and tried to show the deep and rather dark features. I will try other blends and approaches as this is a fun processing region. Hard to do it justice really.

Data acquisition sessions actually spread over  nights of Oct 14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21; November 7,8,16,22,; December 6,9,10... with typically 3 other target each clear night. Thanks so much for looking!
