Description

You don't see many images Lower's Nebula.  I guess being surrounded by flashier targets (Horsehead, Rosette, Cone, Jellyfish, etc), it get's overlooked.

Seeing was poor during a lot of the imaging time, so I had to discard a ton of subs.  Basically only the data within an hour of the meridian was salvageable.  I did manage to grab some RGB for the stars.

Description: Another rainy day reprocessing job. BXT didn't help a whole lot here. I framed it a bit differently and better controlled the brightness on some of the highlight to not blow them out.
