Description

This was an absolute blast to work on, thank you to Lloyd for sending it on over and allowing me to continue to work on my narrowband colors! This is the nᵗʰ time working on narrowband colors, and I don't see myself stopping any time soon.

Outside of the narrowband colors though, I was floored by the fantastic quality of the data which allowed for amazing sharpening of the L frame using deconvolution. Really made the dust lanes jump right out of the image.

All in all, lovely target with equally great data to match. Let me know your opinion on the color. I know I have been really head strong about not using cyan and gold, but are all of these experiments worth it? Or should I stick to the tried and true?
