Description

I wanted to try this shot again, since I had better viewing conditions than in the first attempt. I also wanted to get more of Barnard's Loop in the frame and that seems to have been successful.

I took this image in a coastal town near a military base, with lots of helicopters flying over. DeepSkyStacker's "Kappa Sigma Clipping" did a great job of taking the light streaks out of the subs.

Description: Completely revised this image taken almost a year ago, applying an updated workflow. I didn't know much about widefield imaging using a lens back then, and had the aperture stopped down a little too much (hence the very spiky stars).
