This image consists of 34 - 20 minute luminance images for a total of 11-1/3 hours, All data was acquired using MaxImDl/CCD version 5.15 using ACP.   Images were reduced and saved in MaxImDl version 5.  Alignment, average combining, along with histogram stretching, deconvolution, and HDRWavelets was done using Pix Insight. Two new tools in Pix Insight, HDRMultiscaleTransform and MultiScaleMedianTransform, were used to greatly reduce noise and bring out the faint detail in NGC-410. Photoshop CS 5 was used to create the JPG versions for web presentation.  The image data was collected between November 18-25, 2011 using ACP version 6.2.
