Description

A good friend provided some excellent data taken near Ely, Minnesota. On his WO 110mm Zenithstar using a SBIG STF8300mm camera.

My processing (fumbling around) in Pixinsight.

Rev B: Not knowing the cameras gain etc I couldn't run the Mure Denoise script before combining the RGB. In this version I used a soft TGV denoise before combining the channels, I'm not sure why but it produced a better colour from the start and was less of a struggle getting the blue in The Eyes to appear. A better revision all round.
