About this image

This is 9.5hrs of L-eXtreme data, captured over 4 nights.

I just love the fact that we can “see” Nebula in a galaxy that is around 2.7 million Light-years from earth.

Processing software:

Stacking in DSS then PixInsight (using e.g. Deconvolution, NoiseXterminator in the Linear state – Starnet2 – Pixelmath to combine Stars with Starless images... ). Then a few tweaks in Photoshop & Topaz Denoise.

Clear skies all.
