Thank you, Gerry!? When I started processing the image, Alnitak had a little bit of a halo. I didn't try calculating the distance to whichever glass surface was causing the reflection resulting in the halo, I just worked on reducing it in the image trying every trick in Photoshop that I knew.? It's not perfect, but I think it's ok.? Just like composing and recording a song or writing an article, book, or whatever, at some point, these artistic products are never finished, they're just finally abandoned - that's what we call "finished" - that amuses me.

The number of challenges one can experience in this hobby are truly amazing (and sometimes frustrating).? There's al;ways something else to learn, and I'm not always so lucky in finding a solution to them.? I'm glad the stars appear to have turned out satisfactorily.

Yes, the weather.? Were you able to get some images on which you're working that we may later see?
