Description

Raw stack of the Markarian's Chain region. No calibration frames used. No editing other than some color shift.

With star fields I love roaming through the image at full resolution, finding the numerous tiny galaxies hiding between the stars. Editing algorithms tend to hide or distort these details so I choose to skip the usual calibration, sharpening and noise reduction steps. Take some time scrolling around the full resolution image and you hopefully will agree.
