Description

This was a surprise when I stacked the images as it was almost overexposed. I processed the nebula 2 ways, this one where I emphasized the wings of gas along the edges, and another dimmer version which looks more like the traditional apple core.

I will need to reassess my processing and go back a try again to have both the faint wisps and the detailed core. Such a high dynamic range object and perfectly green and red like an apple core!
