Description

Like most Astrophotographers, I think I've done and re-done this object what feels like a hundred times trying to land on one that I can be happy with. This is such a surprisingly difficult target to process, and not only process, but process without over doing it. I wanted to take a more natural approach, and not push the image too far. I didn't want it to look like a fantasy or "fake."
