Description

Color images are nice, but there is something about a greyscale image that brings out the detail. Maybe we are a bit distracted by the color, or it's that fact that there twenty-times more rods then cones in our retina. Also, I do confess to using some of the L and RGB data to generate this image, although it is mostly H-alpha.
