About this image

It proved to be a surprisingly clear night with detail visible in a single frame so, as I had a family Zoom booked, I just let it run...

The image is dark subtracted and flat fielded and then a little gamma stretch and large scale sky gradient correction* applied, but nothing fancy. Just AA8 - not software requiring a mortgage.

Odd to think that a year or so ago the fan was all but absent.

 

* Removes the glow from Salisbury and brings out detail in the background.
