Description

This was a really tough test for our hardware and software tools. We wanted to photograph something different and we came across cosmic dust. Some have described it as dust raised by Pegasus' wings. We have found only one photograph comparable to ours and it is the APOD of September 28 2012 which confirmed that all those strange shapes, even those located in the darkest areas, are real and not artifacts. We had to reduce a lot of gradients and some spots but we came to an acceptable result. Thanks for watching.
