Description

Blessed with clear skies most of the past week, I managed to get some good data on this beautiful target.

Please provide C&C on processing dust better - this target qualifies as a bright nebula but it's also surrounded by so much dust, and is the first such target I've attempted and procesesd.

270x180s unguided subs taken with ASI2600MC and Askar 151PHQ using just a UV/IR-cut filter.
