Description

Light pollution was much more manageable on this target (higher in the sky) than for Orion.

During Pixinsight processing, I actually skipped DBE because ABE seemed to clean things up nicely. It's also hard to do a good DBE with so many background stars. Also skipped ACDNR (noise reduction in non-linear stage) because there really did not seem to be much noise left over at that point.

Looks like I need to fix a dust donut that slipped in on me. That was a little surprising. My flats for the 40 STM were still only a week old. Using the iPad to generate flats for the 40STM worked well for the fixing the Orion shot (did those flats a few days after shooting the light frames) - may just try it again for this one and re-process.

Thanks for looking!
