Description

I'm very glad to release my first SHO project. I really enjoyed learning and processing narrowband. Please tell me what you think could be improved or reworked as I am seeking for progress ! I know my focusing could be better and will work on this as well as the mount guiding the next months. Thanks for watching and Clears skies ! Brice

Description: Thanks to my friends Christophe Perroud and Michael Feingenbaum advice, comments and honesty I decided to rework this picture since I believe really passed the line on the original one. I thus decided to lower the green to 25% and dramaticaly reduce HUE and sat on this version too. Thanks you very much guys for opening my eyes.
