Description

This is my  first image in about two years .   I seemed to have had every issue that you can imagine with mount, housing, camera and focusers.  
My first discovery was that just uploading after that time was a whole new experience.  

My current challenges are 1- the electric company replaced the old Hg vapor streetlights with high intensity LED lights and 2- the neighbor's oak tree that blocked much
of the light from the nearest streetlight was cut down.   It is really hard to filter out the broadband LED spectrum.

One processing note - I have found that Adobe LIghtroom with its distortion features allows for some correction of uniformity of the field and star rounding.
