Canon 7D Mark II 20-megapixel digital camera and 300 mm f/2.8 L IS II at f/2.8. Twenty nine 60-second

exposures at ISO 1600 were added (29 minutes total exposure). No dark frame subtraction, no flat

fields. Tracking with an astrotrac and no guiding. Full size image is at 2.8 arc-seconds per pixel, and the image here is 1/2 that (5.6 arc-seconds per pixel).

Nlote on the histogram: the blue channel is clipped when converted to sRGB. The original data is in Adobe RGB and not clipped.
