Description

I imaged the Witch Head not too long ago, but wanted to try it again at a wider field using the Rokinon 135mm lens. I could only get 2 hrs of data due to trees getting in the way, and the nebula was extremely faint. A lot of curves stretching was needed to bring it out of the background, so I'm very pleased and a little shocked that it turned out this well.

Description: Worked on the star Rigel to soften up the diffraction spikes - apparently caused by stopping down the aperture.
