This is a reprocess of an earlier data set and POSS-II combo from 5/18/2015. What a difference in processing a year can make since I've learned a couple new tricks. One that I used for this image is the Nik Collection, a really powerful filter set for Photoshop. I'm still figuring out how to properly use some of the filters offered in it but I really like the filters in the Color Effects Pro set; detail extractor, contrast filters, and brilliance/warmth. It's a free download from Google, check it out here: https://www.google.com/nikcollection/ This image was featured on NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day 7/5/2016! https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160705.html Technical Info: POSS-II Data: Red 50% blend Blue 50% blend IR 30% blend with the Green channel http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~wws/poss2.html My Data: 18x 600" @640ISO Lights 50x Darks 40x Bias 20x Flats Camera: Canon 6D Scope: Williams Optics Star 71 Astrograph Mount: Advanced VX Guide Scope: Orion Mag Mini With SSAG Capture Software: Backyard EOS Guide Software: PHD Stacking Software: Deep Sky Stacker Final Processing: PSCC Location: Lockwood Valley, CA
