Description

This is my second go-around of this target this month. The first time I had 16 hours of data that once stretched showed horrible dew marks that I couldn't get flats to take out . That being said, this is another 10+ hours with a full moon and horrible humidity of south Houston so the data wasn't much better. 

Had lots of processing issues with this one at first, got discuraged, and stepped away for a few weeks. Decided to come back to it and wrangled a half decent image out of the data.

Now to wait till the clouds clear up for another target.
