Description

I shot this in 2022 without knowing a great deal about LRGB imaging or processing. I initially did nothing with the data and later returned to it in late 2023 to practice using PixInsight and RC Tools. Though I initially had twice the integration time (50%) being luminance, I ended up dropping the L frames and processing solely as RGB as the L data did not appear to enhance this target as it had with other broadband targets. To me this means I need more practice with globular clusters and with integrating luminance data.
