Description

This was far more challenging to process than I anticipated. The brightness nearly blew out my sensor to saturation, which made it difficult to regain core detail when adding Ha data. Exposures of 15 minutes were necessary to reveal the faint outer nebulosity of the nebula, and many masks were used to integrate it into my RGB image.
