Description:
The realization of this picture is a challenge I had been thinking about for several years but that I had never had the courage to face until now, given the extreme difficulty of the object discovered just 14 years ago. I found the inspiration after 4 years of experience in acquisition and hundreds of processed images to obtain a more than decent result, despite shooting from home with an average SQM around 18.5 (Bortle 7). The acquisition of the frames kept me busy for 2 months in which I managed to take advantage of every good moment of the 20 nights that the weather gave me (not all optimal, however). Unexpectedly, the processing was easier than I thought, perhaps also due to the consistent integration.
