Description

I've been trying to get the processing to a happy place on this data for months without a lot of success. Well today, I got it! I initially captured a pile of 180s subs, but they badly blew out the core and tended to have blobby nasty stars, so I decided not to include them. I ended up combining 60s subs with 120s using HDRComposition and then blending in 300s subs with some new PixelMath scripts provided by Bill Blanshan. These things rock! I finally got those sparkly little red highlights in the galaxy without turning the whole image red.
