This was a great diversion from “Galaxy Season” for me this summer as I’ve been wanting to do more wide angle astrophotography. None of my technology cooperated on this particular night, but in the end I managed to get some camera time in and it actually turned out to be one of my better pictures.

I applied various multi-scale transforms to the image and I think it really brought out the contrast.
