Description

Faint emission nebula in Cygnus. Full info here: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130614.html

First SHO using QHY268M with Chroma filters

I think the image benefitted from a couple of PI processing improvements:

- adding a small pedestal during calibration to repair pixels zeroed through dark subtraction

- use of the NormalizeScaleGradient (NSG) script prior to image integration
