Description

This was my second full Moon target and I had higher hopes for this than the M97 due to the size difference. I was wrong and didn't know how dim object this turned out to be. It didn't help that I had to trash almost half of my subs due to the windy conditions.

I tried different combination techniques trying to push the data and ended up doing a NB HOO combination to which I then added the RGB stars. I then added one more time the extracted L data back to the final image and was able to boost the signal a bit more. At the end I didn't want to show this target as bright or saturated as some other examples found rather than show this more "water-colored" which BTW seems to be quite typical for my images.
