Description

Another "filler" target for a couple hours in the early evening over around 6 nights, but low altitude, poor seeing affected tracking and cloud all conspired to kill detail. In the end only got around 7 hours of useable SHO and another hour or so of RGB for stars. I was intending a 2 panel moasic, but it's only getting lower and more rubbish, so cutting my losses and processing now as a headless chook... not that I've ever worked out which bit is the head, but there's some body part missing thats for sure :-)

Processed in APP and Startools, combined and finished with starless tweaks and reintroducing the RGB stars in PS CC.
