Description

Easy to photograph, TOUGH to process! My first time trying HDRcomposition. Also first time using Ha to enhance the Red channel. Lot of trial and error in this one before I landed on something I was happy with. Learned a couple of new things along the way. Kept referring back to the Inside PixInsight book (Keller) and the Light Vortex Astronomy website tutorials. Both are great references!
