Description

I've been sitting on these data for a while because I haven't had time to process them. This was a really difficult image to process and I'm not entirely sure why. Am I out of practice? Are my data just not that good? Did I mess up at some point during acquisition? Whatever the reason: I spent far too many hours processing this and it's still not where I want it to be. It hasn't been a great year for me AP-wise. Here's hoping 2022 goes better!

Description: I really wasn't happy with my first attempt. I tried processing (mostly) from scratch and got a lot more depth out of it, but I can see myself trying this again.

Description: Maybe third time's the charm? Unstretched it a little and reduced noise. I probably need to give this one a rest.
