Description

My goal was to reduce star bloat, fix the star color, and pull out more of dust surrounding the horsehead.  So I lowered the exposure time to 2 minutes and captured it over 3 nights.  The stars are still a little soft, but there was a hazy atmosphere that I was battling.  What do you think?
