Description

Imaging and processing NGC 1342 was a labor of love. Fitting the target between the obstructing trees in my yard was a challenge. The lum images were severely degraded by light pollution so I was forced to create synthetic lum data which actually worked out nicely for this target.

The dust was another challenge. I experimented in the processing using multiple range masks of varying intensities to enhance the widespread dust. On to the next target, just a little bit smarter. So much to learn!
