Description

For sure one of the galaxy highlights in early spring. The picture is from 6 nights in February and March 2022, when we had perfect nights over several weeks. This is the second picture I used the Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch (GHS) process in PI. It was very hard to get the IFN visible even if the RGB was about 10h.
