I tried to make it a more natural looking shot, when I brightened it and added colour, the noise it created made it look horrible. To get faint objects like the Helix, I normally shoot from Bortle 4 skies but I cannot travel more than 5kms from home and must be back before 8.00pm. So until restrictions ease, I'm stuck in light polluted skies. It makes it a little hard to get good shots at the moment.
