Description

After shooting M27 in July, I wanted another crack at it and took longer exposures - getting over 18 hours on the target. I captured these images over 5 nights in late September. I also changed some things in processing that I feel allowed me to highlight more of the fine nebulosity.

I struggled with star reduction and it's effect on star color - will continue to try and find the right balance.
