Description

This is data from Astrobin public data pool produced by Christopher Gomez from his backyard obsy in Gulf Breeze, Florida. Great data with almost no noise (no NR applied by me) but the bright stars in the image obviously provided a challenge. Here running the Repaired HSV Separation script in PI helped (thanks Wim for the tip).

More data on the image aquisition found here: https://www.astrobin.com/380070/

The Ghost of Merope (or IC 349 - Barnard's Merope Nebula) can just be seen (at 3 o'clock from Merope - the bright central star).

Plenty of clouds around lately so thanks a lot for posting the data Christopher!
