Description

IC417 is a portion of the Spider and Fly nebula (fly not shown). I almost gave up on this data because I just couldn't find a blend that I liked. I wasn't very enthusiastic about the target to begin with, and I think that showed in my early processing efforts. I came back after a few months with fresh eyes and produced this version, which I'm reasonably happy with. It's a tough SHO target, and I think is a much better broadband object. Of note is that it took 18.5 hours of O3 at f4.9, just to get that tiny bit of signal to make the blue/green area.
