Description

This is data I captured in October 2015 and October 2016.  It is primarily a narrow band image with RGB stars. The NB data processing started with a mapping of SHO and I tweaked it from there. This SH2 region has relatively low surface brightness, and I didn't have much RGB data, but I used what I had. I'm relatively happy with how this turned out. I'd never been successful processing this until now. The processing tools and techniques have certainly come a long way in the last 8 years.
