Description

I spent six partial nights acquiring data on The Dolphin Head Nebula and the OIII was spectacular.... except for a HUGE halo around the main / brightest star in the image !!  I spent many days trying to 'fix' that halo, or at least reduce it to the point where it could be ignored, but in the end I just had to give up on those data.  Horrible shame for me, as this is absolutely one of my all time favorite objects, as I love wind blown bubbles and shock excited gasses.

As a result, I took nearly 4 hours of RGB on M 10 and present them here... just too exhausted from my failure to do anything more complex !!
