Description

A very wide field shot with the Pleiades and the California nebula. The shot was taken with a Sony Nex-5 and a 1979 Minolta 45mm pancake lens. Taken from my very light polluted front yard.

Rev.C I've been working on some new techniques in PI. This is a blending of Rev B and a reprocess of the image without stars.

Rev.D Decided to go back and look at the background a little more using the ExponentialTransformation tool in PI. I also decreased the color saturation. A very interesting image for only 30 second subs and 1.4 hours of total time from my light polluted front yard.
