Vespera mosaic of both M42 and the HorseHead nebula under bortle 7 skies with a 3-quarter moon and fog. Pretty bad conditions. Around 3 hours integration time. No filters.
Post-processes in Affinity Photo (levels and curves), then Topaz-anti-noise, then a bit more curves, shadow removal, and vibrance and saturation increase back in Affinity Photo.
