Description

This is one of the first times I experienced bad "seeing" conditions (specifically, smog, rather than light pollution). There was a huge noticable difference later in the night when smog rolled in, so I had to spread this out over two nights. For this target though, you really need 3 or 4 nights, honestly. But processing it was able to work pretty well.
