Description

This is really a challenging object and took me a lot of time. For one thing, I deleted all the shots when the moon was still in the sky and took new shots again without the moon. Secondly, I restarted the processing x times until I found a good way to bring out the object.
Still not perfect as I had wished, but close to it.
The stars are in RGB, but it was hard to bring them into the final image with the correct color.
