Description

I shoot at this magnificent planetary nebula over the course of three night. 
I acquired both narrowband and RGB data. 
During processing I was really impressed by the high amount of dynamic range: I knew it was high but didn't expect "that" high!
Thus I used the RGB data not only for the stars but to deal with the very bright core, too. 
I processed the RGB and HOO masters separately in Pixinsight and did the merging in Photoshop.

I'm quite happy of the result: my mainly fear was having the faint sides of the nebula  not clearly visible. 
Planetary nebulae are fascinating deep-sky objects! Unfortunately most of them are out of the range of my setup...

Let me know what you think of this image and if you have any suggestion to improve!

In the meantime, clear skies!
