Description

I originally processed this image using DSS and Photoshop. Then I was introduced to PixInsight and decided to try it - in spite of all the things I read about PixInsight being a daunting product to learn. However, there are wonderful tutorials out on harrysastroshed.com and lightvortexastronomy.blogspot.com which got me up the learning curve in a weekend. I think the results are incredible - compare this image to the other one and I think you will agree.
