Description

Originally shot on January 29, 2020. I have re-processed the image using new techniques and software to improve the image quality and reduce the overall noise. I have also considerably reduced the number of stars that are visible. Because I was never happy with the way the image turned out back in 2020, I never got around to previously posting this image.

I have always been good at the data collection phase of Astrophotography. As a retired scientist, I have the discipline and a firm understanding of the meticulous attention to detail that successful acquisition demands. 

A combination of superior software and processing tools plus experience and better understanding of that post-capture processing have helped to create an image that I am comfortable posting.
