Re: Cygnus Loop - NGC 6979
Pickerings (Faint) Triangle, also known as Fleming's Nebula.

2 x 120000 ms colour exposure.
A difficult one to tease out of the image data. It was quite faint. I used a somewhat unorthodox method (at least I have never heard of this method). Tricolour split, DDP, realignment & colour combine in Maxim, I then stopped a Lucy-Richardson deconvolution script whilst it was running to get the background image data (below)
This was then sum combined with the original image, again in Maxim. It has enhanced the nebulous area quite nicely. Not quite the image you'd find if you Googled it, but not bad for the BRT.
Until I find out differently I shall call this method SMacB's deconvoluhancement! ;D
