Description

This is a reworking of the previous Cygnus shot. I went back to the original RAW files and restacked them in APP followed by light pollution reduction. Further processing in StarTools was used to emphasise dust lanes and nebulae and boost colour. Final editing was done in Photoshop using the Camera RAW filters. I like that more detail has been preserved in this version and it seemed to take a lot less effort in PS to get a result I liked. The way Vega stands out also seems to give it more impact. Having gone back and done a better job of processing, I've been even more impressed by what the little X-A3 can do.
