Description

Remembering the first time seeing this through the eye piece, it is so much more amazing to see it in processing. This initial attempt is LRGB, and next attempt plans the adding of Ha and OIII.

L - 80x60s, 75g

R - 14x60s, 75g

G - 15x60s, 75g

B - 14x60s, 75g

Oddly, enough the first processing of this image taught the importance of good darks. The 60s master dark was 6 months old, and the processing had lots of pattern almost like a quilt after DBE. New darks, for a new master, proved the data was acceptable for my red zone, and the result was clean.
