Description

Sharpless H2 region 202 and Stock 23 or Pazmino's cluster.
This was a faint and challenging target, I took many more frames than I normally would and even then it didn't seem to make much difference. The LRGB masters were noisy and I had to apply some quite aggressive noise reduction, and an Ha master was required to bring out any kind of contrast.
Still, the result is very colourful, I like the blue of the reflection nebula around the bright cluster contrasting with the red H2 region and dark lanes.
A real sod to process though!
