Description

Pleiades Re-Edit Feb 2021

This is a re-edit of Pleiades that I shot in Nov 2020 (11/7 & 11/78) in our front yard. Also one of my first DSO shots. I was experimenting with various settings on my camera. Exposure varying from 60-150 secs and ISO's from 400-1600. This was about 2 hours and 20 minutes of integration. I have since learned a lot and can't wait to reshoot this next Fall.

With no clear skies in NE Ohio, I have been working on my re-editing some of my first AP shots. Bortles 5-6.

Software and Processing:

APP:

Stacked (multi-session) and processed (moderate stretch). Additional processing using crop, light pollution removal, and star calibration tools.

GIMP:

Additional small curve adjustments, star reduction and cropped.
