Description

My latest image of this iconic cluster. In this case I added more data and used luminance masks in photoshop  to better capture faint nebulosity all around this region.  In first session I used gain 0 to minimize contrast, but images were quite dark. These were used to generate RGB stars. The second  and  third sessions  were used for the nebula image.
