Description

@Steven Gill (Parkesburg Observatory)  suggested this target for my edge's FOV earlier this year and I added it to my list to collect data on. I initially collected 1.5 hours each in RGB and thought it would be good enough, but realized I needed more when tweaking for colors. 

Guiding was not that great when I was imaging this target. I did not realize I was running on an old PEMPro curve (after lowering the mount and adjusting gear mesh) and was worried something was not working. I have since addressed this by re-running PEMPro and mount has been performing well.

The outer arms are very interesting have nice details around it, but I need more data (don't we all, haha). I will revisit this next time around as I have rotated my image train recently. This will do for now. 

Hope you like this result. Clear skies!
