Description

What a pleasant surprise during a rainy British week...I had forgotten I had this data of the Cygnus constellation in wide field captured last summer!!!
However, I soon remembered why I did not process it...the nifty-fifty 50mm Canon lens that I used at f/2.8 gave some horrendous stars, not quite pinpoint, more like tiny needles! An absolute disappointment from this often-praised lens.
Anyway, I decided of making good use of the cloudy weather;  I used StarNet to remove the horrible stars and it did a decent job in doing so, although it left lots of artefacts that had to be smoothed out with some noise reduction tools. In the end, I'm reasonably pleased with the result, at least from a chromatic point of view.
