NGC 7497 and MBM 54 under a full moon?

[tomato]

Just for a laugh last night I thought I would try NGC 7497 and the associated 'Galactic Cirrus' MBM 54. This is 5 hrs of 2 minute subs with the dual Esprit150/IMX571c rig, and UV/IR cut filters. To my surprise I have the molecular clouds visible after some heavy processing. The background was incredibly noisy after the stretch required to render it visible but NoiseXterminator did a marvellous job in cleaning it up.

 All hail modern CMOS cameras and processing software.

Thanks for looking

Another 5 hrs of data has allowed me to be a bit more subtle with the processing, but this is still all under a full moon.
