Description

NGC1895+IC405, trying to find out how much I can do from the city. The total exposure is probably overkill given the Bortle 8 skies; at some point, the incremental gain in signal just doesn't pay any more because I'm too close to the sky glow limit.

There's still a bit of a gradient in the image I couldn't seem to find the right settings to remove. The left upper edge still has a bit of cyan background, and the left lower edge removed a bit too much cyan. The whole left side of the image originally had a cyan cast from what was probably skyglow that still made it through the filter.
