M20

I've been tinkering with some really specialized solar corona image processing routines of late,
which have teased out some remarkably fine coronal structures,
then had the thought...how would this go if applied to deep-sky data.

Hence this M20 image got the solar treatment.

It was fascinating to see how subtle structures popped into view (particularly in the blue reflection nebula)
compared to previous renditions and without the dark doughnuts/ re-bound rings that un-sharp masking typically adds to the data.

I clearly need to get some fresh data to explore this process much further.
