Description

This image has lots of thing that are wrong, especially with the stars. There are weird artefacts caused by me attempting to sharpen up trailed and not-so-focused stars, but I didn't want to throw it away because the data on the nebula itself still looked pretty good to me. I was trying to get rid of walking noise by slightly off-centring the polar alignment, but I guess I did it more than required and it backfired.

Still happy with the end result for now though.
