Description

Captured this image with the goal of making it into a metal print.  I think I need another 2-3 hours at least to improve the SNR, especially since I Drizzled 2x to get a higher resolution.  

I tried using Starnet++, and unfortunately it wasn't suited for this target.  There were just too many star "divots" left behind, and it would've taken thousands of clicks to fix them.  Perhaps worse, the nebulosity would've been clone stamped and altered beyond my personal preference. It was real "fun" reducing the stars the old fashion way in Photoshop.

Until next time.
