Description

Finally got around to trying PixInisght. This is the first image I've edited with it. The data was collected using a duo-narrowband filter, and I blended in RGB stars. 

I was hoping to capture the outer Oxygen layer which I managed to do, so I'm happy with that. 

Still, there's a lot to learn with PixInsight so I may revisit it in the future once I learn more processing techniques.

Note: I have added The Soap Bubble Nebula back in on the latest revision. Embarrassingly, I thought it was a dust mote that hadn't been picked up by my calibration frames, so I edited it out! haha
