Description

This image kicked my a$$. It should look much better than it does, for the amount of data gathered. I cannot manage to make the 'dark gray' halo around the cocoon nebula to pop out... the Ha is too subtle. The stars are too many. The noise is not reduced well enough.

Oh well. It's done! Love this target. Will come back when my processing skills improve.
