Description

This was one of my first attempts at using Starnet to separate stars from the main image to separate the stretch processing not to mess with the stars too much while playing with the nebulosity. (that said, the IDAS filter does skew the star colors in a peculiar way).

This image takes advantage of this wide field scope setup, this is obvious as Letter Y cluser, Flaming Star Nebula, Spider Nebula, and even the Fly Nebula. I have limited time to image this target between clouds and my small patch of sky in my backyard. I probably should hit this target with more integration time to reveal those faint bits in the future, hopefully I'll revisit it and compare.
