Description

It pays to go back through your archives - I found some data that I had never processed as I was cleaning up my drive and I'm glad I did! I've always been amazed at the Cygnus X-1 shockwave and glad I was able to see it once I integrated all the subframes! Decided to use the SHO palette and may have boosted the blue a little too much to have the bow-shock stand out, but I normally don't have a bunch of blue stars at the end so it was nice to end up with something a bit different.

Data collected June through October 2019.
