Hi Nik! I really like your processing of this object. It's funny that when I was looking at this image, one that I acquired from a different service that I had processed came up on my photo frame....I like yours better cause the FOV is better than that of the TOA150 that I had. Will this data be available in 3.0??
Great Image!!
Tom

Thanks Tom! Appreciate the feedback. 👍
One thing that rapidly becomes apparent with this object is just how incredibly faint it is so some pretty heavy scaling is required. After that, the processing is relatively straightforward.
CG4 is a great target for CHI-1 as it delivers a great image scale that shows fine detail in the globule and also captures the edge-on galaxy.
This dataset will be available in 3.0.
Thanks again.
Nik
