Description

Version B brings out the dust areas near IC 446 and fixes the blown out blue area in the Christmas Tree.

This is a complete re-shoot of these objects I did recently

(here) as the first try was not very good. This time, I stopped the Rokinon lens down to f/2.8 for the luminance data which tightened the stars up. I also added Ha to the luminance data which brought out the Cone and surrounding nebulosity.

L 20x180s, Ha 15x400s, RGB 8x120s.
