Description

This is a rework of data taken earlier this year in August. I had taken some additional subs but got the camera angle wrong and prefer to stick with my original composition.
The workflow has changed however and in this version I have used RC-Astro BlurXTerminator immediately after crop and dynamic background extraction.
BXT has definitely made an improvement on detail and size/roundness of the stars.
