A slightly bleeding Coccoon

[MattJenko]

Here is an iTelescope effort of Caldwell 19. Telescope T5. The SBIG camera has no anti blooming, so it bled all over this one in Lum, so had to do some L patching with the RGB data. Quite a fun processing exercise, albeit to the detriment of the final image. I am sure this is not to everyone's taste, but here it is. I am not altogether convinced I like using reflectors with spider veins for imaging. I like the diffraction spikes on bright stars, but it makes all the little ones a little blocky for me.

Looking at it on a webpage now it has been uploaded, I have a feeling another go is in order
