Why didn't I just capture luminance data I hear you ask? The answer to that is I was trying to capture as much RGB as possible in the relative short time that M45 presents itself at an ok elevation. Given its northern position I would rather just grab as much RGB as I can and then work with a synthetic luminance for bringing out the structural details.



Synthetic Luminance is great.
OK - still a fine picture -
the standards are getting higher on this forum.

cheers
