L R G B color production was used to create this image.

Luminance = 30 minutes binned 1x1
 Red = 5 minutes binned 2x2
 Green = 5 minutes binned 2x2
 Blue = 5 minutes binned 2x2
  • Image soft due to excessive winds (20-30mph).
  • Five iterations of L-R deconvolution (sharpening) algorithm using CCDsharp were applied to the luminance image.

  • Digital Development (DDP) via Maxim/DL was also used in order to display the the very dim and very bright details of the image simultaneously.
