This luminance only version has been enhanced to showcase the spread of very faint
Galctic Cirrus dust across the image. This dust shines very feebly at just 27mag/squ arc sec
or about 100X fainter than the natural sky background at Wiruna!

NB: The spotlight effect, lower left in the image, is an internal reflection from an out of
field star that has become more noticable with the enhancement.
