Description

I took this before the summer holidays back in July but I had no time to process it until now. I was able to take out the scope for several nights in a row to get a total of 20h of data, 17h finally after discarding the worst frames. I processed this in SHO palette, there was a lot of data in there, so noise was under control but it was difficult to eliminate some gradients due to very close city lights. I also used some new tools for sharpening and different masks to work individually on some specific areas, like enhancing contrast in the core.
