Description

Ever since first seeing an image of the dark shark I've always loved it as a target, it's shape is incredible, a near perfect outline with a bright star perfectly positioned as an eye to make the image complete.

I've had many attempts at this image, mostly from my Bortle 7 home, with largely poor murky results from LP. This version however benefits from dark skys, Bortle 3 makes imaging and processing this an absolute joy.

Imaged with an OSC and RedCat this was stacked with full calibration in APP, mild LP removal was done in PhotoShop before StarNet was used to process target and stars in isolation.

Enjoy the view.
