Description

Because I've been so busy this summer, just about the only thing I've done with the observatory is gather integration on this target. It's about 100 hours of narrowband and 10 hours of RGB blended in for the star color and some broadband details. I was just going to leave it SHO but my oxygen filter leaves terrible halos around the brighter stars. I removed the stars with starexterminator and blended RGB stars back into the image with pixelmath. Processing done in Pixinsight.
