Description

I have been gradually adding better quality data to this image over five imaging sessions for the last 12 months and I finally believe I have it to a presentable stage. Some of the early data was over exposed and had unusual reflection artifacts, which are gradually getting swamped by better quality data and improved processing skills.

This is my favourite region of space and one day I hope to improve it to the point i can get it printed and framed to hang on the wall.
