Description

Multiple night project (20th, 23rd, 24th, 25th of January 2023, due to limited time these were visible between the trees around my garden). Processing required handling the two nebulae and M35 separately through masking to deal with the differences in brightness. May still need some work, but I need to step away from this one for a while! Also starting to feel like I've pushed the star adventurer mini to it's limits (and maybe beyond) so time to start looking at an equipment upgrade.

Title: V2

Description: Redid the stars only layer with GHS to try to emphasize M35 without pulling out too many small background stars. Also tried a regional stretch to pull out the nebulosity between IC 444 and mu Geminorum
