Description

This one has been both hard and easy to process.  Anyone who has Imaged here knows how rich the star field is and yet we always take the field down.  I have processed this image as Hubble, Heavy Stars, Light Stars, in both ways and starless.  I cannot make up my mind on how to print it.  I do know a dense star field usually looks bad on a print but I still love this one nevertheless.  Comment and let me know your thoughts. I intentionally left in at least 70% of the stars.
