Description

This represents the other half of the nights I have spent over the past month fine-tuning my equipment, and my second attempt to combine f/10 and f/7 data.  Although Astro Pixel Processor still worked to achieve this, I needed to fine-tune color balance in order for everything to blend more evenly this time around.  I also experimented with using the Ha data as added luminance: I think this helped get some of the fainter surrounding nebulosity into view, and worked in a way that didn't wash out the core of the nebula.

If I stare at this long enough, it almost looks like the center of this is a vortex tunneling through space.  Hence the name I chose!
