Description

I decided to go back and reprocess some old data under Bortle 1 skies in southern New Mexico in Dec. 2021, using some newer tools, most importantly SXT and BXT.  It's incredible how different an image from the same data can look, simply by using different processing techniques.  The subtleties of color in this part of the sky are really interesting to me, particularly around the brightest parts of IC 348.  There's a lot going on in there!
