Description

This image was interesting to process. In my first attempt, the dynamic background extraction pulled most of the nebulosity around the stars. Some meticulous scrutiny in the sample points provided the result you see here.

This was captured in SharpCap and processed in PixInsight. Final adjustments to black levels was done in Photoshop.
