Good morning, I'm Federico Vittorio Mantovani. This is my M16 processing, created with shots taken with a mono camera and SHO filters ... I added the stars in RGB. I processed to maintain all the dynamism of the colors to highlight the intersection of the various elements that make up the subject. I hope you like it.

Best regards
