About this image

As I haven’t been able to image much lately because of poor weather I decided to reprocess some old data. My original version is further down in my BAA album, if you want to see my progress. I have learnt a lot more about processing since I started my Astrophotography journey in May2020 – still loads to learn though :)

Processing software:
Stacking in DSS then PixInsight & Topaz Denoise.

Clear skies all
