Description

Processing this image was more of a challenge than I expected.  Required extensive use of masks, including color masks, to get the separation of colors that I was looking for.

For those wondering about the EdgeHD accessories listed, that's because my RASA and EdgeHD are dual mounted on the same mount, so when I image with my RASA the EdgeHD is used as the guide scope.
