Description

My second SHO image with the 2600MM/FLT132 combo. I'm seeing that mono (especially SHO) is really an artistic interpretation as you can make it any colors you want, and you can't really reproduce what you did on another image (at least I can't). Trying to create a "natural" palette - maybe reminiscent of Earth skies, or fire, or water - something to trigger a familiarity.

Had to move to a different spot to shoot south. Very low on the horizon and in some city lights, so not the greatest seeing. Processed starless with desaturated stars added back in. Might try an evening of RGB star collection to replace them.
