Description

Finally took a crack at processing this DeepSkyWest data from Q1 of this year. It's amazing what details you can pick up with good seeing and dark skies. Opted to try this first revision without doing a Deconvolution on it but did saturate it a bit so star colors would be visible. May go back and add in some of my own H-alpha data at some point to augment the color.
