All of my night images are single exposures.
RAW files are converted to JPEG.
I do not use apps like Lightshop or Photoroom.
I'm very lazy.
And my observing time is precious.

As Mars continues it's eastern travel the MilkyWay will no longer have any planetary companions. For a long time!
Jupiter will reverse direction (retrograde motion) in mid-May but will only reach the eastern part of Sagittarius before it resumes it's eastward travel in mid-September.
