NGC 3184 reprocessed

NGC 3184 reprocessed
In order to get in closer, I added 69 images of one minute exposure each, made with the ASI224MC camera. This camera has a much smaller sensor than the ASI071MC Pro, and the pixels are 25% smaller. I am pleased with the detail apparent in this image of such a distant object.
