Description

Double Cluster from Bortle 1 (Observatorio Astronómico Nacional, San Pedro Martir BC, México)

There is a thick dark nebula in the background, it is very challenging to balance this image because of the insane amount of stars. I aggressively reduced the starts to bring the background to the foreground.

I also enhanced the areas where the Red color was predominant.
