IA revuisit of this dat--abouta collected witgh tghe TOA 130 and ASI 1600--abou 26 hours.  I have had great difficulty with this image for years, thougfh I think the data is not bad.  I approached this process a bit differently, including the use of starless processing, a new way of stretching the Ha for lum, and the use of masked stretch with a new way of using curves to adjust.   I binned the data 2x2, which is new, as well  I am not sold 100% (am I ever?).   But its growing on me.  I do think this is an improvement.  I would love to shoot this targfet again, but the prospect of  26 hours of good seeing these days, is unfathomable.  It woukld literally take months.    Not sure which I like better so posted 2--difference in stretch level

Clipped.  I will do it again.  I don’t have the new techniques down yet.  Black point too low. Darn it
