Description

This image was an extreme challenge for me. This was the very first image I imaged in LRGB and the very first image I processed in LRGB. I had only done narrow band prior. Complicating matters was that I only had two good nights on the target, totally just around two hours of integration. I would have liked more, but weather at Spruce Knob, as always was a factor. I love this part of the sky, and one day I will image it properly with lots of integration.
