Description

I've been struggling with editing this photo.  I need to utilize masking more in Photoshop - and in this case my star color variations across the width indicated my flats were not compensating to the degree I would expect.  It was probably something I did, or didn't do right.  I did reduce the star size and star intensity to bring out the contrasting color of the nebula.  C&C welcome as always.

OAT:  +3C
Sensor cooled to: -10C
