Description

Stock 1 is an open cluster that doesn't seem to get much attention. I'd never even heard of it until I saw it in NINA's atlas. I figured it might make an interesting bright moon target and it popped to the top of the list the last couple of days. 

Here's the processing:

RGB:
channel combination
DBE
SPCC
blurXterminator
GHS
Curves
Unsharp Mask (very mild sharpening)

I stretched the background to be fairly bright to bring out as much of the background dark nebulae as possible without totally killing contrast.
