Description

Easy On The Garlic (CTB 1, Garlic).  This project was custom-made for the Hyperstar--wide field and super faint, perfect for the shooting at f/2!  I invested nearly 24 hours into this project during an exceptionally clear week with my C6 Hyperstar rig, and enjoyed every moment under those crisp autumn skies.  Still, after seeing so many excellent renditions here on Astrobin, I was surprised to see how faint it was after all that time, and how difficult it proved to process without stretching the data beyond its limit. Perhaps another 24 hours would do the trick, but it may be quite a while before I get another perfect opportunity.
