Description

About 15 hours of Ha and 3 or so for RGB on LBN 917 w/ my CDK 14.  The detail in Ha was impressive, so I used it as luminance, but this muted spatial details in the reflection nebula, so w/ a mask and some careful adjustment of lightness and saturation I used the Blue channel as luminance there w/ the typical LRGB combination tool.  As always the trio-of-crazy XTerminators were used to enhance and work this image.
