Description

Taken over the nights of 3/13, 3/19, 3/20, 5/11, and 5/12 2021. This is the first time I've attempted to capture the IFN and try to bring it out with processing. I had considerable light pollution still showing up in my frames and tried to remove it the best I could without killing off the IFN. With the luminance jacked up as much as it was, it made for an image that's noisier than I had hoped for.
