Description

Lucky imaging capture of the Jewel Box open star cluster (NGC4755). 
Short sub's to keep stars very tight and unsaturated.  Stacked in APP.   I then exported out 8 images with different stretches and performed a HDR process.  the HDR output I then reblended with one of the stretches to generate this image.
