Description

I am amazed at how this turned out. Imaging was from my backyard in the middle of a white-hot light pollution zone. It was near 0 deg F and the transparency really sucked. My data looked pretty washed out, but Pixinsight performed it's alchemy once again. I applied some newly learned processing methods and it paid in dividends. Really excited about this image, I feel as though I made a breakthrough!
