Description

This is probably one of the tougher ones I had to process, since I don't image galaxies much. I do like the blues and red in this though. Now I can finally focus on Ghost of Cassiopeia and my 100 hour project on M33

So this was also the first time I used continuum subtraction, which I had never done.  I did notice a couple of stars appear, which did not show up in broadband data.

After a little digging, found out I captured some PN!  Most have already either been discovered or are deep in a Catalog somewhere.  Extremely neat!
