Description

A quick one-night project - the first good opportunity I've had to image in the last 4 months. Final image is far from perfect, not my cleanest work, and there's some artifact coming from super-bright Rigel just out of frame, though I don't mind it much. Makes it look like the witch is gazing as some unseen glory? (Although, if anyone has hints on how to limit this sort of artifact going forward, I'm all ears)

Anyhow, ultimately just glad to have a good night out with my gear.
