Supporting the Galaxy

My nightscaping expeditions to the US Southwest last normally about a week. As I do not take a computer along, my memory cards accumulate lots of data during my working nights.

 

After returning home, I try to remember what exposures looked most promising and I develop those images first. There is however lots of data that I put aside in the first processing run and these RAWs can contain some nice surprises when checking them later.

 

This image is such a case. I took it in spring 2017 and only recently discovered the folder containing the untouched RAWs on my harddrive. When I started working on them, I quickly realised that the data was excellent and that I liked the composition even better than my initial favorite...
