About this image

Experimenting with starnet app (starnetastro.com) as mentioned in Sky and Telescope 2022 September. Removes stars from image but seems to leave a granulated finish that requires smoothing. A bit artificial, but allows the nebula to stand out well.

No halos with the Optolong filter here, these seem only to appear when I use the 0.8x reducer on the small refractor.
