Description

Revision 12-2-22:  Added more Luminance data (56 x 300s Lum) for slightly increased detail.  Not too pleased with the loss of color in the processing...  Later I will re-process the image data to better restore more color.
Revision 11-31:  re-cropped image;  slightly enhanced color contrast in core and arms.

Image data:  30 x 300 seconds Luminance 1x1;  8 x 600 seconds each RGB 2x2.
Processed in APP and PhotoShopCC.  Image cropped 50%.
