Description

This is my attempt at the Witch Head Nebula hidden in the constellation Eridanus. Due to how faint this nebula is, it proved to be quite a bit more difficult to capture and process than I first thought. 
I thought I managed to capture enough data on it, but as I went through the processing steps, it became apparent that I could've used a bit more data, particularly in Ha. I'm still quite pleased with the end product as I learned heaps of new methods to use in Pixinsight and it was fun to do a target I've never tried before. This image was capture over the course of 5 nights.

As always, if you have any constructive criticism or any questions, please drop them below.

I hope you enjoy
