Description

It taken during SFAA star party. Bortle 4-5 place not that far from San Francisco


Things to improve in the future:
1. take flats
2. better post processing
3. more integration time
4. try with sharper lens

As of Oct 16th this is the first version of post processing.
The star brightness has not been protected.
Hopefully I would upload a better version soon

A bit better processing
Aside from stretching I did
1. I use luminosity mask to desaturate/make darker the background
2. I manually removed color aberration around stars
