Description

This is my first combination of data from multiple years. It's also my longest integration on a single image. (You guys who do 8+ hours on a single target: my hat is off to you! ) I got some good shots in November of 2017, but never processed those - wanting more integration time. I took the opportunity about a week ago to grab some additional data and it really helped get the noise level down. I actually was able to get great results without using linear noise reduction in PI (just did ACDNR after stretching and LHE).

Thanks for looking!
