COMMENTS
Almost five hours of exposure and many more processing the image resulted in what I consider my best closeup up to date. The image is a crop from a larger FOV that originally covered the entire nebula, but even before I started shooting, my idea was to only capture the area that you see in the image. That's also one of the reasons I don't have a larger version of the image.
