Description

I got this image the last three nights of August, and it appeared the monsoons were breaking. But, 1" of rain in last 2 days tell prove my weather prognostications are not very good, at least here in Arizona. Anyway, I did get this little beauty.

Title: Reprocessed with BlurXterminator and Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch

Description: Went back and used BXT instead of Pixinsight Deconvolution. What takes a long time with Deconvolution takes a short time with BXT. I also used some new lessons in GHS to stretch the image.
