Description

This target captivated my attention for probably six straight nights.  After months of clouds, I had a string of good nights and I just kept getting clean data on this one.  I wasn't sure what size I would be able to upload so this is just a 5MB jpg, but the full resolution is incredible.  This is about 59 hrs of data. There's probably so much more I could do with it, but honestly the processing was easy with that much data. 

I'm dealing with some backfocus or some sensor tilt that is noticeable mostly on the left corners.  I'm open to feedback if anyone has seen and corrected stars like this before (arrow shaped, pointing toward center).  Mostly an issue with the Ha filter so maybe I have some distortion on the filter...?  I humbly ask those out there much more experienced than I.  Thanks for viewing and inspiring.
