Description

I captured this version of the Pleiades at the request of my wife. It was captured over several evenings and involved experementing with different exposures. This is the first subject for me that "resisted" processing. Many attempts at improvement seem to decrease the image quality so this one has minimal processing.

There is a lot of detail in this one. It definitely looks better at full resolution.
