Description

This object is humbling.  I think the object is beyond my current skill(s) to process...   I was originally intrigued by the "creatures" on the right side of the ghost, but with all the faint IFN in the field, it makes the object particularly hard to work.   I've got about 3.5 hours @ f/2.2 now.   I'm not going for full IFN effect, but I'd like not to have grainy/chromatic IFN either.  Will take a break and let this be for a bit.

Description: More integration time (~3.5 hours @ f/2.2). Getting more resolved, but can't quite find the balance of IFN to ghost I'm looking for. At least the "creatures" on the right of the ghost are better defined.
