Description

While this target was imaged a number of times before, this instance is the first to be done using RC Astro's BlurXterminator, NoiseXterminator, and StarXterminator throughout the workflow. End results show a bit more detail within the nebula layers indicating more complex intricacies than was previously noticed.

Though the nebula palette was best with an HOO cobination, the interior stars could only be brought forth when SII data was added to create an HOS star image which was recombined with the starless HOO image in the final processing steps.
