Description

I reprocessed an old image captured back in May using new software and other tools I didn't have before and got a pretty decent image. The previous image I posted here had some misregistration in the color layers and some problems with tracking caused by wind.

I really cranked up the saturation in this image to pull out a lot of detail. This nebula has a lot of different colors, so took it well. I noticed a few stars that seem to have some color bleed on the edges. I suppose I will go back and try to fix that at some point.
