Description

In the quiet (less windy) hours of the night this week collected some narrowband data, to add to data from last year.

Processed the whole lot anew in PI this year taking advantage of BlurX, SPCC, GHS, NoiseX and StarX.
Separate stretches and curve work for the Ring Nebula Core (RGB), Ring Halos (Ha and O3), stars (RGB) and galaxies.
Used the layering tool in StarTools to assemble the core and Halos and galaxies, then back to PI to integrate the stars,
then off to photo editor for the final touches. 

Created a version with an Ha halo, and a version with a blended Ha and OIII halo. 

Thanks for looking!
