Description

An area near NGC 6866. I called it The Claw since that is how it looked to me in the RGB survey.

This is SHO with normalization using Bill Blanshon's SHOnormalization. It still had a green cast after SHO normalization so I used his green colormask pixelmath. Then I used curves to adjust the color in the masked area. It resulted in this colorful rendition.

The Texas heat is becoming a problem. I was only able to get my ASI2600mm to -3c at around 85% TEC power. The subs are noisier but still processed ok. 

This image would look even better with a wider view. I plan on making this a 2x2 or 4x4 mosaic.
