Description

Last year I pointed my GT81 to the Heart Nebula for a few nights, but never got enough data. This year, I decided to point my 8" EdgeHD to it. While I didn't get a ton of data, I think I got enough to produce a decent image. This data was processed in PI using Russ Crowman's excellent Xterminator processes (Star, Noise and Blur). Also, credit to Bill Blanshan and his pixel math scripts as well. I decided against using the RGB data I'd collected for the stars. Quite frankly, it was garbage. Instead, I stayed with the HOO stars and did a bit of curves work on them.
