Description

I am not really impressed with the final image.. I think the 3 minute subs were a bad idea at unity gain, but I am amazed at how many stars are in this image. According to PixInsight's FWHMEccentricity script, there are over 41,000 stars in this image. I am planning to reprocess this using StarNet to take out the stars and process the stars and nebula separately. I want to see if this improves the star color and reduce the bloating.
