This is my first time on this target. I found few examples of this nebula alone, even on Astrobin. Using the Bill Blanshan Pixinsight process icons I moved through 3 renditions. The first as captured. The second is an HOO presentation, and the third is an SHO version. I have to say it took some time to finish the processing but I am happy enough with the results. Since this capture, I have not had a single clear night. Arrrgghh!

There is a bit of annotation in the Astrobin version


Here is the stack straight out of Astropixel Processor. No post-processing.

Here is the HOO version.

And finally the SHO version - my personal favorite.

Amazing that these are the same target. The last one brings out a subject that was only barely visible at all in the first rendering.

It's neat to see the original Andy, and how it changed in the processing. The HOO is nice, and the more normal view, but the SHO view really brings it to life. It almost feels like there is something inside ready to burst out. It gives it a real 3D feel!

That last one really pops - and fun to show folks who don't have the 'astrophotography madness gene' what the data starts out looking like. Great work!
