Description

This image represents the most integration time I've gathered on a single target.  At almost seven hours worth of data, I'm really seeing the value in that signal to noise ratio as well as the detail captured with hour upon hour of imaging.  I shot this from my Bortle 4 backyard through a L-Enhance filter.  I've yet to start using flats, but I did use dark calibration frames.  I'm quite thrilled with this results, especially since this was my first attempt at using Starnet++ to isolate the nebula and then add the stars back in.
