Description

This is a wide field set with a Willimas Optics Star 71 taken on 5/10/2015 combined with a long focal length set using a Celestron Edge HD 8 taken on 6/29/2014.

This very dusty area is a great target for long exposure wide field shots, so many knots of dusty material all over the place!
