Description

Unfortunately, only about 6 hours of good data since most of February was awful for astrophotography and now this target is setting very early on behind the roof of my house.

I just did a quick MaskedStretched to reveal more data at the expense of noise. I like the fact that MaskedStretched keeps the stars small and reveals more nebulosity than HST in my opinion.

Comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Description: This version was stretched using HST instead of MaskedStretched. Stars are larger and nebulosity not as prominent but there is more contrast and smoother background.
