Description

This was my RGB target when the moon was out. I got inspired by Anis' version that is top notch and started collecting data early October (close to meridian), but had to start all over as the guiding was terrible (which I fixed later on).

Even though guiding was decent this time, there was a stupid dust mote that decided to mess with my L subs and simply won't calibrate out. I ended up ditching 5 hours of L data. I could add more in the next couple days, but I am now done with this target. I need to check my filters and clean them thoroughly soon. 

I processed this several times and decided to settle with this one for now. 

Hope you like this result. Clear skies!
