Description

Super happy with this one! 3 clear nights in a row but, like a moron, I didn't review any of those frames in any meaningful depth in between sessions. There was a pretty bad reflection in my optical train that which produced some gnarly circular artifacts which were an absolute bastard to remove during processing. For a while, I didn't think I was going to be able to get them sufficiently reduced and almost gave up. Glad I didn't.
