Description

Finally got two nights in a row to capture something and I chose these.   This is my first try with Luminance after taking 6 months off.  I'm a begginer and last year I just had bad luck with Luminance, the stars were always too big.  I'm not sure what I'm doing differently now, but it seems to work.  I think I finally got my back focus taken care of and my processing is getting better.
