Description

The Fighting Dragons of Ara.

This was an experiment! It was a clear night after weeks of rain and cloud - but it was a full moon. I chose this target as it's relatively bright, and popped the narrowband filter on. I wasn't sure whether it would be worth trying. It took ages to process, as I chose to take 60s subs to minimise effects of the bright moonlight. Four hours of data, so there were 240 subs :-). This colour scheme was a bit of fun, traditional colours to follow.
