Description

Finally clearish sky after 3 months of bad weather.

Apparently, after being punished excessively by the person in charge of "Weather" for my purchase (in Sep) of a RASA + monochrome equipment, here's my first light.

The pic's 'synthetic' appearance is intentional, based on the limited number of sub-frames available in post-processing. There have not been enough photons collected for a more serious result without pressing too hard in PixInsight.
Instead I decided for a more seasonal approach with a touch of golden 'Magic' - sorry about that :-)
