Description

I imaged this region for several weeks from my Bortle 6 location to get as much as possible of the IFN. I also added about 3 hours worth of data from my Bortle 4 dark location on the mountains nearby. It was not as planed because we had lots of wind and many 10 min. subs were rejected. Getting as much of the IFN as possible is not an easy process. A lot careful work in PI and PS was needed to get to the end result. I was surprised how much nebula is there. I hope you like the result. CS
