Description

This image came in at 37.75 hours of total exposure time from my suburban backyard (Bortle 6). I've spent the last month or so collecting data on this one and I was pleasantly surprised with how much this popped from the backyard considering the conditions. The RGB data was not great... A ton of light pollution gradients to work through and some moon gradient as well. Once I got the image as flat as I could, I worked through nine revisions before calling this final. As you can see I leaned toward a pinkish tones in HA rather than deep reds. I felt this gave the image as a whole a more natural broadband vibe.
