      Gorgeous wide field dataset

      Data quality was pretty consistent, so I was able to use 100% of the download. Quality of the RGB data is very good, the Ha improved the red channel a little but not dramatically. Processed in Pixinsight, plus use of Russell Croman tools BlurX and NoiseX. Made quite heavy use of DSE script to increase contrast. Love the contrast between the luminous gas and the dirty dust.
