M 44 - The Beehive. With all the never ending cloudy nights, I have gone back and reprocessed some images from earlier in the year. This was shot on Feb 27 of this year. It is only 9 subs at 180 seconds each so it is not particularly deep. Nonetheless, it was quite the processing challenge. Punching up the star colors while preventing star bloat and/or ringing required several laps around PixInsight to get this outcome. I think more subs at longer exposures would have revealed some of the faint blue wisps often seen in this object.
