Hi everyone again,
Just working hard to get back into my usual process. It was surprisingly dificult to start up astrophotography after only 2 months off. I sat down to process this and felt completely lost. With my bakcyards limited sky space I've been having to wait until ealry morning to get some new targets which limits the amount of exposure time I have. Anyways, I hope you like my take on "5 out of the 7 Sisters".
