Description

Under very dark skies, well known objects get a new appearence. Regarding the omega nebula, the dark dust clouds in the front show up with much more brightness and contrast, which makes the processing not easier. The dynamic range of that object is enormous, so that some HDR management in pixinsight was necessary. Hope you like my version here.

Cheers, Christoph
