Description

Second "real" photo. This time, I used my "newly-acquired" (a.k.a. during the first lock-down...) L-eNhance filter on the crescent. I may have stretched the contrast a bit too much, but I like the result, with clear, round stars all over the place. I still need to find a way to reduce the star size a bit.

Description: Here's a new, very much improved treatment of the same lights, still in HOO.
The stars would still benefit from being reduced, but it's far less an issue as the color balance is completely different. I still didn't manage to correctly highlight the OIII bubble in front, but I suspect this comes from the original shots. I'll need a better camera to achieve this.
