No other image processing. Additional Thoughts: This was the last image I took while living in New Mexico before selling my observatory and moving back to California. I rebuilt my darkroom and recently printed this image. I made an unsharp mask for it to allow me to print it bright enough to show the dim details without blowing out the highlights.
