Processing Infornmation  This Composite Narrow Band and LRGB image was obtained using  AstroDon NB and LRGB filters.  The NB and LRGB images were assembled in CCDStack.  The NB and LRGB images were then compined in Photoshop.  Further stretching, high pass filtering and background smoothing was performed with Adobe Photoshop CS/4.  All data stretching was by minimal stretching with gamma and DDP in CCD Stack and then further stretching with curves/levels in photoshop.
