This image is compiled from 18 - 15 minute luminance images.  7 - 15 minutes each of RGB data used for a total of 9 3/4 hours of data used. All data was acquired using MaxImDl/CCD version 4.56. Images were reduced and saved in MaxIm. The data was then brought into CCDStack where bloom removal, alignment, and sigma reject was performed to produce the master image. Photoshop CS 2 was used for curves and levels.  The image data was collected over October 24-25, 2006.
