Description

Well, another pass at this data with the Foraxx script and the color result was better. Noise on this data set is really strong. There is only 12 hours across the 3 filters and this was taken on a FLI16200 CCD camera, which was good for its time -- but 6e~ noise is significantly higher than modern CMOS cameras.To even get close to combating this, I used a lot of ACDNR - a process I have not touched in eons. It did work okay though.

This was data that I was planning to delete, but decided to throw it in the blender and see what came out. It is not bad. Noisy though, but still pleasant colors.
