Description

My third DSO, and first try with PixInsight. Heavily cropped from full frame. Shot from Bortle 2/3 with average seeing. 

Would love to get some CC on the processing. I think the nebula ended up a tad overdone, sharpening wise. Unfortunately that step was near the middle of my process, and I simply don't know enough about PI yet to go back and tweak it. Thanks for any thoughts!
