Description

13 hours of RGB data taken with my William Optics GT81 APO triplet telescope at Los Coloraos, Gorafe, Spain

Dark nebulas are a new challenge for me due to the faint nature of the nebula.  processing is a little harder to be able to bring out the detail of the dark nebula without making the stars bloated.  I achieved this by removing the stars at the beginning of the editing process allowing full control of the nebula brightness and the stars.

Thanks for looking!
