Finally getting my hand on M32mm, and tried out the Milky on a clear night,

Despire seeing the faint nebula around Antares in the back of my camera, I couldn't make it pop in PP, must be doing something wrong.

The big bloat star in the upper right is Jupiter crossing the core, the nebulas in the core are so beautiful, just like crystals, I was thinking of astromodding my m6, but after seeing how much H-alpha response I can get even with one 50s exposure in the testing PP, I will keep it as it is.

I color some stars to blue to create constrast against the red nebulas in the core.

Enjoy!

44 mins data of 50s exposure, f/2.5, ISO 800, tracked using iOptron SkyTracker Pro, I do believe I can extract more details, just need a point to the right direction.

That is a beautiful image.  You mentioned making it pop, so I hope you dont mind my attempt.  All I did was use dehaze.  I think this is a good balance.
