Description

I could have spent quite a bit more time on this nebula to pull out more space dust, but this is it for now.  I was having some problems with gradients after applying flats, but after using the Sequence Generator Flats Calibration Wizard it became clear that my flat exposures were too long.  After correcting the exposure times everything went much better.

The Seahorse is a rather nice astrophotography target, and I look forward to revisiting it in the future.
