Description

My Dad asked me "why do you ever shoot clusters?!" OK Dad, here's one for you...

I shot everything with 60 second exposures to prevent the stars from saturating and going all white. I got a bit of that in the core but mostly OK. I might have shot the color a bit longer to improve color background noise but Topaz DeNoise is like a magic wand on that.

28L 23R 26G 20B all on minute, 97 minutes total. SBIG STT 8300M, Planewave CDK14, Paramount MEII.
