Description

One more from my trip to Canada. Again, given the integration time, the result is somewhat disappoining. The raw data does not look too bad at first sight, but a closer look shows slight overexposure. Tempted by a beautiful dark sky, i could not resist to expose longer than i should have - so i lost all fine detail which could of course not be retrieved with picture processing. All stretching just blurs the image.

Well ... one more lesson learned (pay attention to histograms and avoid over exposure at all costs!) many more to come. Anyways: here is the picture.
