Description

My second attempt at this nebulae. With more subs, a better alignment, and some improved techniques in photoshop, this time we can see some of the structure of the nebula and close-in dust. My first attempt looked like a smudge. The toughest/dimmest/smallest DSO I've tried my hand it. One thing I've noticed that's challenging about this subject, there is almost no red in it, makes it very hard to color balance and stretch. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
