Description

This image includes 2 open clusters, M35 (center of image, about 2700 ly away) and NGC 2158 (top left, about 11,000 ly away). Both are in the constellation Gemini.

This was my first attempt at using Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch in PixInsight - my workflow usually included EZ Soft Stretch, but I think that was contributing to bright stars and galaxy cores being blown out. I think this worked a little better, but I've only skimmed the surface of GHS and have a lot to learn!
