Description

At first I was kind of disappointed with how it looked after combining the layers, it was so dull that I couldn't believe people got such bright colours out of it, but I'm pretty sure I felt the same way with California and it's been a few months so I forgot how to coax them out. After playing with the image over and over I figured out/remembered how to make it look so much nicer and now I'm at the point where it's been very hard to choose which one I like the best.

I'm pretty happy with this, its top competitor was similar, but with a slightly more standard SHO colour scheme, but this one gave more contrast and a unique view on the subject.

It took 10 days over a month and a bit to capture enough to work on this project as it's not in a very ideal location for my setup. I think this is a target I could come back to down the road and make something even better out of once I learn more advanced processing techniques. I wouldn't mind adding a bit more time into captures as well.

No darks used, RGB stars, no star reduction.
