Description

The Skull Nebula, an additional target from September 2023, but weather(wind) or user error made a mess of a significant amount of images, in particular the second night was a complete bust. 
Ended up with six small sets of images which I am happy with. 

No flats attempted on this night, thus some donut shape from optics may be visible.
I had some issues with integrating this set, remnants of satellite trails can still be seen etc.
Used the Generalised Hyperbolic Stretch on this image.
