M41 Little Beehive Cluster
A beautiful open star cluster, also known as NGC 2287, located in the constellation Canis Major, displays its stars like precious jewels in the night sky.
Editing this star cluster was great fun. I also love viewing star clusters through a telescope or binoculars.
My workflow included: GraXpert, SPCC, BlurXT, NoiseXT, Curves Transformation and ImageBlend (to merge luminance and RGB).
Clear Skies!
