Description

This was a difficult image to process, first because there are so many details it was hard to strike a balance that i was happy with. Second the center star forming region is really bright, and easily becomes washed out. One reason why the final image is darker than i would normally go with. My first pass at this, ended up with the entire area looking really washed out once i tried to view it as a JPEG. I ended up having to go back and reprocess it a few times.
