Description

I took this image back in January, but didn't process it until now, since it only received 5.5hours of integration on one of our short summer nights.  In preparing for another run on the Chicken, I processed the data, and was surprised at the depth and detail I had reached.  [Also included a drizzled image of the central portion, to show off the detail]  I suspect it is RC Astro's suit of BXT, NXT and SXT that are primarily responsible for this, but I will take what I can get.

Of course, I will put some more integration into this, but I thought it would be interesting to demonstrate just how well these tools work on relative meagre data.
