Description

As my modified 300D failed to start due to my external battery substitute suddenly failing, I looked for a subject that didn't rely on HA to be captured. Decided to stretch myself and have a crack at the Witches Head Nebula. Pretty pleased with the result but wanted to get another couple of hours on it. The following night was horrible seeing and then it was time to go home.

(B) - Corrected the color balance somewhat.

(C) - More adjustments to colour balance and also clipped the blacks to visually enhance the picture. Also paid more attention to controlling the noise considering the fact that it is extremely stretched.
