I started this one just before having a loan of a TAK flattener, went on to do a lot of tests on the flattener and only now have returned to finish processing (if there is such a thing). I think I'm finished with globs. No flattener on this one as evident in the corners a bit. I sure looked at Mike and Trish's image a lot! Dark sky and 20" is hard to measure up to, not to mention processing skill....
I'm not too sure about the core brightness so I've posted 2 versions.
