Description

My third image from dark skies in New Mexico. The Iris nebula. This is something I can't really shoot well from light polluted skies, so wanted to give it a go. The RedCat's blue wavelength doesn't seem as sharp as the red and green channels, and it really shows up here with lots of blue stars that appear out of focus. Otherwise I think this was a fine attempt.

Description: A complete reprocess of this data using NoiseXterminator allowed me to push the data much further than I previously was willing to go. Big difference in the dust visibility.
