Description

I had captured over 80 hours of data for this image. I wasn't entirely satisfied with the result the first time I processed it. Felt like I should have been able to resolve more details with that much data. So after thinking about it for a bit, I decided I would try again but completely drop 30% of my lowest weighted subframes from each filter. I do believe the result does scratch out a small amount of better resolution using this 'less is more' approach. Even with dropping a third of my data I'm still left with over 50 hours of integration time which is pretty significant!
