Description

I got the data for this LRGB image back in 2017 from Rick Stevenson (Australia).  He shot it in 2015 with his AP 140 EDF (771 mm) equipped with an Apogee U16M CCD camera.  He provided  the masters, which consisted of 1.5 hours each for R, G, B, and L, plus 3.5 hours of Ha data and 3 hours of OIII.  I did not use the NB data to form the RGB, but I used it, along with the other masters, to form a super luminance, which was used to create the LRGB image.  Pixinsight was used to process the data along with Photoshop to a lesser degree.  GraXpert AI was used to remove gradients.  Color calibration used SPCC, however the curves were far from ideal.
