Description

Originally shot this with different framing last year, wasn't happy with the result.  Also, at F2, I shortened the exposures from 120s to 60s, which helped to keep the brightest areas from being overcooked.  After my star deemphasis routine, the RGB stars mostly disappear unless viewed at full resolution.  Clear skies everyone, cause I sure haven't had many.
