Algol very nice work. I do so enjoy your artform You have been busy as a beaver here of late.
Great job. Where are you that you get all these clear skies or are you processing earlier work?
I have a stack of folders I should work instead of complaining about the bad weather :roll:

I live in a heavy light pollution environment just 30 miles from Atlanta (pop 4 million!!!!!). The only thing I do is that I use a light pollution filter to get my dark skies. It has been clear here, which is usual for October and November but most other months it is the typical south, hazy.
