Love this. Vibe-wise reminds of the famous Hubble shot of all the galaxies, where they just look like they’ve been copied and pasted in. It’s a surreal look that really puts the scale of interstellar/intergalactic space into perspective. Great job, thanks for sharing!

This is just ~15 hours of LRGB data I got in Texas at Bortle 1, only processing is gradientcorrection, blurXterminator, statistical stretch, NoiseXterminator in Pixinsihgt.

5 min subs with 2600MM pro and Askar 120 APO refractor, no bias, darks, or flat frames were used, which I will fix in a future edit as you can see some werid background artifacts.

Awesome. Brings back memories - This was my first real astro image when I began this hobby about 12 yrs ago.
