Description

I actually took the subs for this image.  The scope was a Borg 77ED, and the camera was an unmodified Canon 6D Mk 2.   The total exposure was one hour of 180-second exposures.   Processing utilized Pixinsight with minor adjustments in Photoshop.  GraXpert AI was used to remove gradients in the reprocessed version, as was the latest version of BlurXterminator.  SPCC was used to color calibrate the image, but SCNR was also applied.  Bill Blanshan's method 3 was used to reduce the star density.
