Description

NGC 7822 was an interesting challenge for me. I like the color that I ultimately ended up with but was unsatisfied with surrounding nebulosity because it was coming out rather dark. I worked on brightening that up and it looks better to my eyes. I still ended up cropping the image a little bit which cut out some of the surrounding nebulosity. I think that added some drama to the  image as it made  the star forming pillars more noticeable. I'm still not totally satisfied with this image and may come back to it in the future but it's time to move on. Russel Croman's tools BXT, NXT and SXT  were a great help as usual and are  now part of my regular workflow.
