Description

A quick attempt at a familiar target to double check progress and tuning of the refractor. I much prefer the softer gradients and gentle saturation push in this version over my previous attempts, which may in retrospect been subject to poor collimation and a wider bandpass filter that let in more city light. The difference in 14 vs 16 bit sensor is dramatic, also. Tempted to try another edit with no noise reduction at all, as even the slight noiseX seems to have muddied it just a little.
