Description

HDR Composite made from exposures at 10", 60" , and 120". Processed in Pixinsight. The 60" frames were captured in November of 2016 and the 10" and 120" frames were captured in February of 2017.

This was my first time using images from different nights and creating an HDR composite. Very happy with the results, as the Trapezium stars were made visible again.
