I did reprocessed this nebula since my skills are much better now, than two years ago.
All the exposures I have taken for this object are used. Total exposure time is now about 20h together.
Two camera lenses was used to capture the data, a Tokina AT 300mm f2.8 and a Canon EF 200mm f1.8, both lenses was used at full aperture.
