Description

I had numerous attempts for the same target. First from South Llano State Park back in 2018. Only a handful of subs in Ha/O3 were made. The details and contrast stunned me . Then from various other places including backyard but never long enough each time.

It was not until I browsed Astrobin did I realize the exact boundary of its beauty.

My post processing workflow evolved a lot for this target. I tried to integrate with subs from x bar ranch and from backyard that are of different angles and different flats. In the beginning, I leveled out the background and chopped out areas that are not overlapping. I put them back finally after I figured how to do so.

This is my favorite one for 2019.
