Description

Well I totally botched this and a few other images around the time I observed the Tulip Nebula. My collimation was knocked out of whack when I pointed at high altitude targets like this. I fixed it right afterwards, but moved on because I was getting so much image rotation and thought it better to work a little lower in the sky anyway.

In order to hide the egg shaped star images, I resampled the image down to effectively bin 4 which had the advantage of giving me more signal in the dust clouds so I could stretch them a bit more. I'll will have to revisit this one when seeing is a bit better and its lower in the sky so I don't lose so much image to field rotation
