Description

A farewell to one of the most imaged objects in the night sky.  A project I started in February on the Esprit 100ED  telescope at the complex, but didn’t manage to get round to edit it until now. I used it to practice some new scripts in PixInsight for image blending.  I am happy with the details in this image, the Esprit 100ED really is a great telescope for wide field imaging. The focal length of this image is 564mm after using the Skywatcher field flattener.
