Description

Used my Lumix GH2 and Canon 50mm lenses with a proper adapter to capture this composition of 20 shots featuring Jupiter in the left and M44 on the right.

I used DeepSkyStacker to stack the 20 pictures each with a 10s exposure, along with 50 bias frames and 20 dark frames.

I've tuned up saturation to bring out colors, that's all i did in post. No colors were added.

Original - single, untouched shot out of the original 20.

B - Stacked the 20 shots with DeepSkyStacker

C - Overly Saturated version. No colors were added.

D - Edited curves, contrast and vibrance/saturation to have a balanced picture.
