Description

Here is the Spider Nebula. I imaged this back in January and February, but never got around to processing it because I didn't have enough data. Then I tried the Mure Denoise routine and my noisy data suddenly became presentable! I worked with it for quite a while, and I got something I am happy with.

The bright star in the upper was a nightmare to work with. The microlens diffraction pattern was quite apparent, and my feeble clone-stamping was no match. I tried my best.
