Description

This is my best effort so far with the hubble palette, and I think my best image to date. It was a squeeze to frame this up and get it all in, and I'm glad to have nailed it.

I'm starting to wonder if 1.25" filters are too small for the 1600mm camera... I get a bit of weirdness right in the corners which can be hard to edit out.
