Description

Processing this image has been a challenge for me.  I shot SHO during the bright moon period and just a few RGB for the stars.  I have processed it many different ways.  Generally, I am not a fan of the straight SHO color pallet, but I kept coming back to it for this image as it always showed the best detail in the "Tulip" and Cygnus X-1 dome.

Even though the seeing was not that great and I really needed more time on the image, I decided to post this one.  I will go back next year for better results as this is a beautiful area.
