This was a stopover object while I waited for something else to go above the trees. Only 15 minutes worth of data from a Bortle 3 site in New Hampshire.  I knew it would be hard because the SNR was so bad but I don't know when I'll get a chance to shoot this again from B3 so I overcooked it on purpose from BlurX to NoiseX to being very generous with curves and GHS. 

Turned out better than I expected. This was taken with the Askar 91F in September. Video on the Askar 91F here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YRdKks4Kh4
