Description

This revision was an experiment before I tackle a complete reimaging of this target. I shot short exposure LRGB for the core and blended this to my data from last year. The experiment was successful so I plan to add more short exposure data for the core and redo the Ha and Oiii data for the outer nebulosity. Last years data had horrible gradients due to my inexperience with the OAG at the time. I'll be anxious to see if I can improve on this intreguing target.
