Description

I've processed a number of challenging targets but this one came close to having me consider taking up knitting as my retirement hobby. Normally, Ha signal seems to process somewhat well for me but even though the Ha stack looked decent, it seemed as if David Copperfield did an Ha disappearing act whenever I did the HOO combination.

Lots of creative stretching and masks were utilized to try and salvage a semi-recognizable image. I figured I would stop here even though I'm not satisfied with the end result. I'll save the data and possibly take another crack at it if I can improve my processing abilities. This one nearly drove me nuts.
