Description

I attempted to do a composite image with both short an long exposures but each attempt came out looking fake. So I decided to post a version B for the core area only where I used 15 second subs (around 90 ha + 90 oii). It is a simple stack and histogram stretch and ha + oii combine only. Pretty amazing how bright the core area is and the intricate details and patterns that can be found.

The main image is 180 second subs only. Thus the core is super bright!
