Description

You maybe surprised to find a dolphin head floating in space. But as my friend says, dolphins are from space so maybe not surprising.

A very short, low capture that I didn't think would work well. But it's not so bad I think.

RGB stars, plus 5-minute exposures with a 3nm Chroma O-III filter. I colored the O-III (using CurvesTransformation) then screened into the RGB stars.
