Description

Weeks of bad weather here in Vienna got me to look back at last year's pics for reprocessing. Apart from focus not being perfectly on spot, this photo of the beatiful cocoon/IC5146 nebula has somewhat little integration time due to my mobile setup limitations (and using f/10!...), so I tried to mask the grain of some of the fainter structures using a composite method of the original and a Starnet++ nebula-only version. For a little more than 1 hour total exposure, I am quite happy with the result.
