Description

This one has been one of the hardest images for me to process so far, despite being double the integration time of any previous project. While 25 total hours isn't anything crazy, I could only collect two hours per night shooting from my balcony, so it took more than a month. Naturally, as many of us probably feel when sharing, I feel like it could be better, I'm sure I'll have revisions for this. I'm very glad I shot RGB stars for this one, Lion has an incredibly dense and beautiful star field.
