Astrometry - Cassiopea
Park the car, put the cam on tripod, point and shoot.
Then spend many hours to get the post-processing right, heh. Not a thrilling picture, but i'm learning how to make it so :)
Cassiopea in front of the Milky Way (the "W" is 45° counterclockwise), M31 (Andromeda) on bottom right, Double Cluster on bottom.
Processing : 3300k WB, heavy NR, contrast boost, hightlights and blacks reduced, whites increased. Also disabled the sharpening (very important, else you cannot distinguish big stars from background noise). I have some hard time removing the vignetting, since the Milky Way have its own glowing.
I still dont get the right WB somehow :( but I like that excess of blue.
