Description

Here’s the Elephant and Squid done in a different style HOO palette. I’m happy with this for a Bortle 7 sky. I drizzledx2 the masters, however I’ve reduced the resolution in half to upload to Astrobin.

The RGB stars could have been better, I’ve learned my lesson with holding this lens wide open at f2 🥳

I hope you enjoy!
