This image is compiled from 5 - 15 minute Luminance images.  RGB data is 5 each for 15 minutes each for a total of 5 hours of data used. All frames were used to get a synthetic luminance and layer over the compiled LRGB image after high pass sharpening was applied. All data was acquired ACP Web Interface using MaxImDl/CCD version 4.56. Images were reduced and saved in MaxIm. All images aligned using Registar. 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 December 23-24, 2006.
