Description:

I say "reimagined" for three reasons... 1. I wanted to capture what the Sombrero might looks like when approaching from a few million light years. The color would likely be "natural" with a smooth halo with no abrupt edge. 2. The May skies in Julian, CA are very dark (21.5+) and steady between weather changes. 3. This is my first use of the relatively new AI sharpening and denoise tools by Russel Croman. Thank you Kevin Morefield for your AI processing tips!
