Description

RCW6 = SH2-301 is an emission and reflection nebula in the constellation Canis Major, about 13000 LJ distance from us. Out of the downloaded 95 subs, only 72 were selected after evaluation in PI subframe selector. However, some of the finest details, which are in some renditions on the web, cannot be reproduced because they are too weak to be enhanced without creating a noise disaster. I probably have to dig deeper into some processing routines to see what more can be made visible without applying AI routines...
