Description

Spent the last 3 nights shooting this famous target in SHO, from the house.
This target really had a nice balance between S, H and O,
did not require exotic pixel math for the color, 
some modules used: WBPP, EZstretch, LRGBcombo, correctmagentastars, SCNR,  curves, starnet2, unsharp mask, noiseXTerminator,
split out stars with some deconvolution, SCNR, but did use the SHO stars which didn't look too bad, reintegrated with pixelmath.

Hope you enjoy!
