Description

My big project for the winter. I collected 600+ light frames, 180s each, from mid-January through mid-March. After culling bad frames, and using subframe selector, I ended up with 443 subs. The reason that this is "naked" is that I completely forgot any type of filter, either my Optolong L-eNhance filter, or my IDAS LP filter, so this is unfiltered data from my Bortle 7 backyard. Overall I'm happy with it, though disappointed at my oversight. I would have liked some more constrained stars, as there is at least one halo that's obvious that might have been reduced or eliminated with a filter. About 95% of the processing was in PixInsight, with some final retouching in Adobe LightRoom.
