As I said in my introduction, I am also an amateur astronomer. I am usually quitebusy this time of year observing and taking photos, but I had shoulder surgery on Tuesday, and will be sidelined for a while. So I started going through some of my photos from earlier this year, and decided to reprocess a few. Here is one that I finished this morning.
