Description

I've probably spent more time processing this image than any other.

Usually, that means that I just can't get it to the point I want it - and that was the case with this target!

However, the silver lining is I learned a bunch of new processing tricks along the way, and that's kind of what AP is about

LBN 576 is a rather dim supernova remnant in the constellation Cassiopeia. I'm still not sure if this object is 'officially' called the Garlic Head Nebula, but I think it fits.

I collected just about 20 hours on this bad boy - a new record for me! I'm not used to having 4 clear nights in a row - it was awesome.
