Description

It's winter and cloudy, so it's time to reprocess old photos to see if I can make them any better.  Taken under a Bortle 7 sky, this was one of my early attempts to take a deep sky photo with my unmodified Nikon D5600.  My calibration frames could certainly have been better, but I was just learning about those.  Overall, the image is pretty noisy, but it was an early effort, and I was in awe that I could photograph a deep sky object from my back yard!
