Description

An alternative acquisition/processing aimed more at eye catching than fidelity for a classic winter target.
Aperture at 8 (minimum diaphragm opening for the FZ300) naturally creates the rays around the brightest stars. 
The use of shifted datasets from multiple nights takes care of the colored framing.
Siril's autostretch, only slightly tuned on the dark side, causes the noise to emerge in all its colorfulness.
No flat/bias, only background extraction on each frame using imageJ scripting.
