Description

I took this HaRGB of RCW 163  this summer with short nights, but love the dense star fields.  I held off from doing much with BlurX on it to see how it would turn out.  I really could have pushed for sharper stars, but liked the natural fuzz it's producing without much processing.  

Without running it in PixInsight, guess the star count in this image?

I ran staralignment with default detection to get an idea...
