Description

Shot over 3 poor nights.  Due to trees, I only get about 75 minutes of this target per night, at most.  Drizzled at 2X to increase resolution.  Shot with OSC camera and converted to HOO palette using Bill Blanshen's scripts in PI. I was able to do a bit more deconvolution in Pixinsight.  I'm pretty happy with this, considering how little data I had.
