Description

The sky was captured using a Celestron AVX mount, 7 frames manually stacked using median mode to eliminate satellite and air plane artifact and improve noise.

Three frames were used for the foreground at dusk at ISO 100 @ f11 and focus stacked to improve depth of field and keep near rock and mountains sharp.

The sky and foreground was manually blended to preserve detail in the sky and foreground and control exposure of sky and foreground.

This is a much smaller version of the original which is about 50 Mega Pixels.
