Another one from last month. I might get to add to this, since I ended up discarding about half the luminance frames during processing for one reason or another.

Cool image Charlie! This is on my to do list, I just haven't figured out the field size I want. I like your "closer in" image - it has the advantage of better resolution than a wider field.

There is part of the cluster outside your field. Would you add a mosaic frame? Or add more luminance data to the existing field?
