Dreyer's Nebula

[gorann]

In March I answered a questionary from Astrobin and won this LRGB data set from Lloyd at Deep Sky West, which I have now processed (i.e. the data and not Lloyd). It is captured with their RH 305 scope and 16803SBIG STX-16803 camera. I will post exposure info etc as soon as I get it from Lloyd.

This was fantastic data virtually without noise but the complexity of the target made it quite a challenge to process. This is saved version 41 and it is unlikely to be the final version.

So, thanks a lot Lloyd!

Processed PS CS5.

Comments and suggestions most welcome - I am sure this one can be improved here and there.

Yes it is probably the busiest image I have processed, but then it was gathered with a big scope and a big chip under a very clear sky in New Mexico.

And I knew this one was not the final version. This morning it looked a bit too dark so I have brighteded it up with some curve tweaks.
