Description

My first image of a dark nebula in the middle of the milky way. Hard to believe how many stars are in this small section of the sky. And to think they're all in our galaxy! Very humbling. I also have some Luminance data which I might combine later if I'm not too lazy and I find some time. Not sure it would add a lot to such a dense star field. Open to C&C.
