Description

I have been waiting all year to grab this target since I learned about it last year.  It was too late in the cycle to grab it then so I was excited to get a clear enough light with minimal moon interference to take this on.  I used the Russell Croman Blur Exterminator tool on this which saved quite a bit of time dealing with deconvolution. Would definitely recommend that tool. Feels like cheating

I really like the star color contrasted against the very red nebulosity.  This target was worth the wait!
