Description

I actually captured this image in early June but was not really happy with the original processing in PixInsight. Since then I have improved my skillset somewhat in PixInsight, so I decided to rework my processing. This is what I came up with, since you can't see the original processing, let me just say that most of the faint nebulosity found in this version is not visible in the original, the sky in the original is far too black, and nebula is a darker. Feel free to let my know what you think of this version.
