About this image

Yet another shot from a 1st floor window. This time used a small tripod bought of a charity shop. A DSS stack of 6 x 1 sec light and 6 x dark. Finished in PS Elements 12. Sky much clearer due to the lack of aircraft "muck" that usually haunts me. Pandemics do have their advantages.
