            is one advantage of using this camera for red nebula despite
            its blindness to the hydrogen alpha reds - the images are much
            closer to what the eye would see in a giant telescope as far
            a color is concerned. This is a test image, to see just what
            I would record in a very short one minute exposure. Differential
            processing of the Raw image allowed some latitude on the core
            region to keep it from burning out.
