      Description

      I discovered this target while browsing through the fine collection of images from this AstroBin community, and it really piqued my interest both as a lovely HaLRGB target as well as being reasonably well matched for the field of view with my CDK14 and reducer combo. I wanted to get upwards of 20 hours of data on this target so I could really stretch the knobs while processing it. El Niño is biting almost everyone this year, and you can imagine it took me quite a while to collect the necessary data. In the end I had about 24.5 hours worth of usable data after throwing away ~8 hours or so of subs with unusable FWHM. This image is the result of a few back and forths between PixInsight and Photoshop, and it was rather fun to process the whole thing.Hope you enjoy!
