Calibrated and Stacked with CCDStack2; RGB combine and DDP with MaximDL. Processed with CS4.
On one night of poor transparency, I just shot RGB frames, but I could not use many of the blue frames, hence less time there.
I did something wrong in processing the luminance that cause the blue start to bloat. In fixing it, I made the the raccoon eyes around many of the smaller stars worse, but I did not want to go back and re-do everything.
I am still very happy with this image. It just calls out for a mosaic...
