Description

LDN 183 was on my list to acquire more data but the weather was always against me.  More recently a shoulder injury has kept me out of service for the past 4 months. No lifting and no driving for at least 6 months.  I decided to go back and process this target now as my processing skills have improved since this data was collected.  More important than my skills was the development of new techniques for processing.  Special thanks to Russell Croman  for BlurXTerminator   and
StarXTerminator.  Additional thanks to Bill Blanchon for his amazing script for star reduction and his many specialized pixelmath tools used in the processing of this image.  I could not have done this processing without the tools both of you have provided to the astro community.  My hat is off to both of you.  I'd salute you both but I it's hard to raise my arm.
