Description

Despite super annoying conditions with very thin clouds, my look into the heart of the milky way worked out! I only had little time remaining until moonrise, bis barely 20 minutes were enough for these bright targets.

C

Description: Much improved (aka? overprocessed) version. Note to myself: 1. create a second version with heavily reduced star sizes. 2. blend it over the original in PS with 50% transparence and color mask, 3. another 50% blend with luminance mask. This will result in a colorful image with reduced stars and more visible large structures.
