The 4 stars of M20
I tried to process this such that the colours were muted as well as keeping the four stars that illuminate M20 as separate stars without blowing the black and white points of the image. Contains 2hr Ha (10min subs) taken with QSI 583 combined with 60 min RGB taken with QHY8 camera. Aligned with Registar and processed with PS3.
I was happy with the Ha as there is a lot of faint background dust in M20 that normally is processed out.
Taken from lovely light polluted BrisVegas with additional illumination kindly provided by Stefan's obelisk, a real boon to those that try to find/enjoy the night sky and a good contributor to global warming.
Unfortunately I think its going to suffer from compression to a jpeg image (not Stefan's ph@ll@s).
Comments welcome
