Description

This is the result of an experiment with exposure time on this nebula.  I was concerned about over-exposure, especially using HyperStar, but found that I got higher SNR that resulted in clearer detail using the relatively long exposure time. Though the core is very bright, it is not completely blown out as bright stars can still be seen in this region.
