Well I added some more integration and RGB for true star color. I have to say the improvement is very nice!
This is IC 410 it is a faint and dusty emission nebula of more than 100 light-years across approximately 12,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Auriga. Notable are two streamers of material, known as the “Tadpoles of IC 410”. These tadpoles, which consist of denser, cooler gas and dust, are approximately 10 light-years long and potentially sites of ongoing star formations. They are in the center of the image. Because of these tadpoles, IC 410 is sometimes nicknamed the Tadpoles Nebula.
Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.

Looking north-northwest toward the High Falls of the Pigeon River.
In this region, this stream marks the boundary of the United States and Canada. Here it spills over a northeast-southwest-oriented dike of Mesoproterozoic diabase, a dark wall of highly resistant mafic igneous rock. Then it rushes down a canyon deeply incised into much softer shale, siltstone, and graywacke of the Paleoproterozoic Rove Formation. These sedimentary strata can be dimly discerned through the mist at lower left and right.
The tremendous visceral impact of the surging water and splashing spray is matched by the spectacle of geologic time presented at the High Falls. The Rove beds were deposited between 1.836 and 1.78 Ga ago in the Animikie Basin, a downwarped section of the Earth's crust linked to the Penokean mountain-building episode.
Then, at about 1.1 Ga and long after the lofty Penokean Mountains had been beveled flat by erosion, the magma that would become the diabase was injected into a large vertical fissure in the Rove. This occurred during the cataclysmic episode that created the Midcontinent Rift (MCR) and almost tore North America apart. While specialists still debate the details of its origin, the MCR formed in a time of crustal extension and thinning. Its massive outpourings of lava may also be linked to mantle-plume activity.

Rilke again:
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet ~

And last but not least:
Imagionation is the mother of all possibilities.

Im Straßenbild sieht man noch Minarette und Moscheen , aber die die meisten wurden einem anderen Zweck zugeführt. Geschichte kann man aber nicht ausradieren und ein friedlicher, harmonischer Mix aus Religionen, Architekturen, Kulturen kann doch nur bereichern.
There are still minarets and mosques in the street, but most of them have been brought to a different purpose. But you can not eradicate history and a peaceful, harmonious mix of religions, architecture, cultures can only enrich

This is an HOO image. I processed using a workflow that included narrowband normalization. It is interesting to compare this image with the same image I posted a few weeks ago where I used the Foraxx palate.

PHILIPPINE SEA (Feb. 2, 2021) The Ohio-class guided-missile submarine USS Ohio (SSGN 726), deployed in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations, gets into position for an integration exercise off the coast of Okinawa, Japan. The exercise was part of ongoing III Marine Expeditionary Force-U.S. 7th Fleet efforts to provide flexible, forward-postured and quick-response options to regional commanders.

A new tech term for ancient technology. This is a granary near the Moon House Ruin in the Cedar Mesa area of Utah. I liked how the walls of the granary grew out of the cliffs as an extension of the natural rock.
last landscape format image of the Snake Creatures...this is the first stage in becoming one of them....painless but irreversible
thanks for looking in....appreciate it.....best bigger....hope you have a Great Weekend
I am taking a different turn in photography.
I love incorporating art with photographs so now I play with my iPad and Laminar software.
Thus allows me to layer my bits and pieces hopefully into a more interesting landscape.
Presenting an image of vdB 152, also known as CED 201, a reflection nebula located approximately 1400 light years away in the constellation Cephus. Dominating the center of the image is a dark, dusty pillar-like structure that reflects the light of nearby stars, giving it a faint, bluish glow.

... the Andromedae Galaxy, taken at 23° Saint Barthélemy star-party, NUS (Valledaosta, Italy)
noble subject, but it was my obsession, photograph decently at least once
edit: I have completely redone the stack on another computer with the latest version of DSS, the colors seem to be more correct, cool :)

J'avais passé des années en faisant de collages de papier, de peinture et de photos. Maintenant, je reviens sur mes racines artistiques et j'ai commencé à faire une nouvelle série de superpositions. Voici la première.
