Description

After I put up this obscure OC I discovered that it is surrounded by cirrus clouds. Looking at my L subs these clouds were blatantly apparent with a small amount of stretching. So I decided to make an animation contrasting the two: The L showing the cirrus (mostly dust) versus the OC in color, which shines nicely if you flatten the background, but then you lose the clouds.

I could not find a way to put both in the same image.

NOTE WELL: TO SEE THE ANIMATION, KEEP THE CURSOR OFF THE IMAGE.
