Description

I know my Rose is upside-down but for some reason it just looked better this way. 

I'm trying something different; typically I take very little RGB data, basically just max 2 hours per filter but this leads to a huge number of Lum subs and my poor old laptop can't handle anymore the processing expectations. So I'm experimenting how much if any data I loose if I increase the number of RGB subs and correspondingly reduce the amount of Lum info collected. So far (with a sample size of 1) I like the approach and don't think the image would be any better with my old method. The other change I did was to be more selective with my data. In Rose's case I ended up throwing about 50 Lum subs away instead of the typical 10 - 15 subs.
