Description

This was a tough one. I reprocessed this one four times and restacked the data three times. I made a mistake about half way through the imaging process. I ended up introducing some walking noise into my Luminance channel. So alot of the work was trying to figure out if the data was salvageable. It was not so I stacked only the Lum without the walking noise. That being said there is alot that I really like about this image. And pretty happy with how it turned out. That is until I get a scope for galaxy season! haha
