Description

Captured over a couple of nights after a disasterous attempt at a new cable routing resulted in plenty of lost data from NGC7822. I've concentrated on replicating a HST palette and bringing out the faint background dust surrounding the main nebula. Star control was important to help prevent the Pacman from being swamped.

I could really do with more data but I'm pleased with the result nevertheless.
