Last night was very clear in NM so I decided to try some RGB on the Eskimo Nebula, despite the moon. As expected the original file had terrible gradients but after a lot of tweaking I removed most of it. This is not a target for the refractor I am using but I was curious to see if I could get the Pneb to at least resolve and it seems to have done so. I zoomed in about 50% and cropped.
