Description

I captured this image back in June and tried several times to process and then went back and looked at my original frames and realized I had 7 frames that looked totally different.  I am  not sure what I did, but I got rid of those and restacked and here is my image.   This is just under 2 hours of data from my 127mm with a L-Pro filter.  Next time I want to take this with my 81mm and only a UV/IR cut filter.  I have seen much better images of this nebula, but I am not totally disappointed. I didn't have a wide enough FOV to capture all the nebula and all the different rich colors.
