Description

I shot this image - consisting of nothing but 1 light frame - on NYE 2019. I had planned to acquire some couple dozen pictures before the fireworks would start cracking, but due to loss of guiding (apparently usb problems) and due to clouds, I could only get this very shot. At least, this made post processing faster...

Speaking of post processing:

1.) Lightroom: crop, remove chromatic aberration, increase shadows, reduce lights, increase clarity

2.) Photoshop: set black point, slight curves adjustment to bring up the dim light on the outskirts of the galaxy

3.) No processing with regard to colors and white balance
