Description

Taken on 1/15/14 at Sycamore Canyon SDAA star party.

Canon T2i @ 55mm f/2.8 on fixed tripod

5s exposure

1600 ISO

Stacked in DSS with 81 light, 15 dark, 0 flat, 18 bias

Post processed in PixInsight following tutorials on Harry's Astro Shed (background neutralization, dynamic background extraction, color calibration, histrogram transformation, HDR wavlets, Saturation boost.)

I attempted to use ACNR (noise reduction) but it just made the image look soft. So I did not keep it.

I tried to stack with 5 flats (taking picture of white LCD screen) but it made the gradients worse so I left the flats out.
