Description

Imaged with Paul Kummer who did capture and pre-processing. My post processing. About 3 hours per panel.
For the first time I felt it was possible to focus on the nebula rather than the stars,  thanks to StarXterminator. The use of StarX had a more dramatic effect on this image than on any other I've yet processed with it, though it is always good.
