Technical Notes: Individual exposures were obtained using CCDAutoPilot2 and then sigma combined. The RGB image was created in Registar 1.0. A high-pass filter with a radius of 4 pixels was applied to the bright portions of the luminance image. Reduce Noise and Gausiian Blur were applied to the RGB image. Two copies of the RGB image were recombined with the original using Soft Light to enhance color.
