Description

Processed an photo from june/2021. NGC 6357 (War and Peace nebula, Lobster nebula) and NGC 6334 (Cat's Pawn nebula) together.

Focus was a bit off, though. One of my last pictures taken with a telephoto/zoom lens!

Still, for a deep red target, I think that the stock Canon 7D II did an amazing job!

Stacked in DSS, processed in PI.

Description: It's revision season! Another image I was never quite happy - turns out those dense star fields are a lot harder to process than I initially thought. Besides working the stars and colors better, I think this image was better suited for a more wide field view. Hope you like it!
