Description

Another heavy crop into my 35-minute RedCat First Light. There is another first-timer with this one: Following a tutorial of Daniel Nimmervoll, I tried processing in LAB color space in PS for the first time. It has a dramatic imfluence on my images: My unmodified Sony tends to produce purple color with emission nebulae and it is always a pain to shift that to a more realistic color. Going into LAB makes it super easy. Just a few clicks and everything looks like if my camera is modified!
