Description

Familiar constellations to most Astrobin user's (living in the Northern Hemisphere), are here presented.... upside down and near the Horizon!!! That's a look at the Northern part of our Galaxy, that would be well above the Horizon, even in the Zenit, for mid-northern latitudes, as seen from 22º S.

Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, without any calibration frames. The result was stretched and post-processed mainly in PS CC, and the image was similar to a edited "single frame", but with much less noise (due to stacking). Levels, Curves, Saturation, Vibrance, HLVG and Star Shrinking are my main steps, not necesseraly just once, and not in this order. Finally, in Lightroom minor tweaks were made, and it was resized and exported in this software.

Constructive criticism, comments and suggestions are more than welcome in the comments section.

Taken from Rural Skies (Bortle 3-4), from Cristina, MG, Brazil (22ºS latitude). Thanks for looking.
