Description

Second time shooting this, and still not terribly pleased with the results. I think I needed about twice as much data as I got to smooth things out. I'll probably continue shooting this target and try reprocessing again later.

I was able to include an interesting object, NGC 2261 in the frame (top left) which is quite new to me. I was very excited to be able to capture both targets simultaneously.
