Description

If the clouds aren't blurring the frame a cars headlights or neighbors porch light pollutes the frame. All the processing to remove the light pollution and cloud only created more noise and other defects. So I decided "less is more" so I only did a couple of steps of my typical workflow. I tossed every frame that was blown out, had trees in frame or way too much light pollution and other gradients. I will revisit this target when the stars align and I'm able to collect some good data. Clear Sky's. Enjoy
