Description

A fun target to capture, but a tough target to process. I think I needed more color data, as it was noisy. Still learning how to properly process LRGB data collected with a monchrome camera. I had some Ha data collected as well, but also noisy, and in the end, I decided not to try to include it in the final image. This was collected unguided, with the aid of a 100+ point TPoint model.
