About this image

Output from a second night of dedicated observation with clearer skies vs previous night when I shot 120 x 120s without filter. Stacking even the best images into the second shoot didnt produce any better outcome. This is 47 from 60 subs without l-enhance and 40 with filter until I lost the target. Mixing with the L-enhance images brings through some additional structure in the nebulosity whilst preserving some of the more attractive colour elements of the visible
