Description

The data for this LRGB image are from Telescope.live (https://telescope.live/home) and consisted of 3 hours of LRGB data.  The system consisted of a Takahashi FSQ 106 EDX4 (reduced to f 3.8) equipped with a QHY 600M Pro camera.  A super luminance (all data) was used to create the LRGB.  Pixinsight was used to process the data, and Photoshop was used for minor adjustments.  GraXpert was used to remove gradients.  StarXterminator proved to be superior to Starnet++ in removing stars.  The latter failed to remove the brightest stars in the image.
