Description

I wanted to see how much detail and depth I could achieve from my suburban Bortle 5/6 backyard on this perennial favorite using the L-eXtreme filter, combined with unfiltered RGB data for good star colors.  I also blended in a bit of RGB data into the nebula itself to give its color more depth and nuance.  It can't compete with a Bortle 1 shot, but I was quite pleased with the result.  I hope you enjoy it as well.
