Description

I forget if I ended up using all 112 frames, or throwing out the worst 20 (92 total in that case). I also think I had some data with the 8se in here too, but most of it is with the EdgeHD.

Really happy with the results here, and I pushed the boundaries of noise reduction to make the outer portions of the galaxy more silky and appealing rather than noisy and off-putting.

Overall I'm incredibly pleased with what I was able to pull out of this target given it was taken in heavy light pollution through an SCT.
