Description

I shot this over two nights. The very faint reddish brown dust is just now starting to show. But it's almost a full moon out, so I need to stop imaging. It was very difficult to remove the light pollution in this image given all the dust. I had to consult many award winning images from darker skies to know where to remove light pollution. It was pretty challenging, but I think this is likely the best I can do from these skies.
