About this image

I had taken a Luminance (1x1 bin) set 3 days before but the images were not the same quality as the subsequent RGBs (2x2 bin). This was probably due to seeing, focus and Moon up issues. As the RGB sets alone produced a reasonable image I decided to upload it. Pre-processing (calibration, registration and stacking) was achieved using Python and post (colour) processing by Gimp.
