Description

Quick edit of IC 5146.  I captured a lot of data (about 16 hours over 3 nights), but gradients varied by night and I was pressed for processing time so this image is based on the best subs from one night (emphasis on Ha filter) with a quick processing through PixInsight and Photoshop. It's a challenging target and I think I need to recapture it from darker skies next year to really do it justice.
