Description

Fighting white zone data. I need to stick with narrowband.

I have been working on this, quitting, and coming back over and over again. I'll think it looks good, then I will look at other M106's on here and realize how terrible the data is.

Part of it is the light pollution. But there was also calibration issues. There was a lot of vertical banding on over 50% of the Lum data. There were weird gradients and embroidered dust donuts in the RGB data. It's been very frustrating but I have a pile of things in my staging area and I'd like to do what I can with them and move them to public. Maybe next year I'll try to redo the Lum and get some Ha.
