Description

A couple caveats:

1. I knew this going into it, but this looks different from most renditions of LDN1622 because the broadband data was minimal (really only captured for stars). Thus: the reflection nebula, variations in color and other beautiful aspects we're used to seeing in this subject are not present.

2. I only gathered about half the data I wanted to before I had to stop. I thought I could make due by tone mapping it and doing a little noise reduction, but obviously there's no substitute for integration time. I feel like it simultaneously looks noisy and excessively smoothed.

3. I'm still extremely out of practice and it shows!
