Description

I'm grateful to Declan Carey, a colleague in the local astronomy club, who gave me his data to process for a number of images that were taken when we were both at the clubs viewing site.

This one I was pleased with and agreed with him to share it online.

I made a copy of the stacked images and processed one for colour and the other for detail using the latter as a grayscale luminance frame. All processing was in Photoshop CC 2019.
