Description

As always, when the sky cleared out and the moon wasn't out I went out for some shooting. For whatever reason the framing of this shot took me a long time to get setup. So much so that per usual I only got about half an hour of data again! Alas...one day I'll get a full night of data.

I'm excited about this shot for two reasons. First I got it before it goes out of season and second I tried out some new software (Lumenzia) to help with the editing. The luminosity mask really helped isolate the stars during stretching which is awesome. I'll need to go and reprocess some old photos with this new technique!
