Beatiful Bernard, love the details

Thanks guys. This one was actually a comedy of erros. My camera came loose and rotated as the scope tracked across the sky. This cause my LUM and RGB images to be 23 degreas rotated from each other. ALso I took the B frames 1x1 while taking the R and G 2x2. I had to use Excalibrator to get the proper color ratios and I had to do some funky rotaating and cropping in PS to get the part where the L and RGB overlapped. I am amazed it turned out as well as it did.
