Other than being generally sharper, the colours are slightly different. This is because this image was taken through an IR block which moved the camera's colour balance back toward that of the eye.
Technically; 9 of 17 25 sec. frames, and dark subtracted. Unsharp masked and histogram stretched. Just visible are the two brightest stars inside the ring.
Hey! thats looking realy good.
I hear the call of the soldering iron.
