Pushing the limits - using LDN 1617 from AUS-2

Curious as I am, I always try out new things and push the existing/proven even further. When I saw in the subs of the one-click observation "LDN 1617", what is going on at the edges, I wanted to see if and how far one can go with the "Drizzle Integration" of PixInsight and if the result can be shown at all.

This is especially true if you consider that there are only 6 subs per channel on average, so not that much data! Well, more focal length/more data is of course always better and preferable, but it's amazing what can be done with just a little, isn't it?
