Description

Reprocessing data collected a few months ago in my early astrophotography days! Cropped from a series of shots taken at 70mm with the Nikkor 70-300mm. In initial processing it was tough to bring out the nebulosity above the background without blowing out the stars. Revisiting this using StarNet (and now that I know how to properly use the flats I collected) I was able to get a cleaner image, and even bring out part of the Jellyfish nebula. Images collected at ISO 1600.
