Description

Captured over 5 nights with a combination of both 440sec subs and 600 sec subs both in Ha and OIII. I tried to put more data on the Ha because of how much less apparent it is in the data compared to OIII, I wanted to help it pop. I used HDR multi-scale to reveal some of the core, I tried masking to perform a differential stretch the core, but HDR multi-scale was better. There was a little bit of ringing in the core, so i did a light manual touch up for the ringing pixel artifacts. Rendered the data with Forax HOO. Other than the core tweaks, this was pretty representative of the stacked data:
