Description

This picture really gave me headaches in postprocessing. I experimented with very high gain and I will not shoot at that high gain again. There are weird patches of noise all over the background that I could not really get rid off and that I've never seen before.

It literally took me 5 attempts to get to this result which I'm semi happy with.

As usual I learned a lot though

I'm glad I managed to capture the very faint OIII halo which actually was my goal for this.
