Description

Image taken on 00:30 am sunday morning 14 may.

A brief window of time for clear skies and unobstructed view, from my backyard. So only 13 x 90 sec exposures of light frames, 15 darks, 15 bias and 10 flat frames. Stacked in DSS. Careful processing in PS and finishing touch in Lightroom plus a final crop in JPEG. 

Pleased with the final result, with such a small refractor and little exposure time. At least 15 galaxies can be identified.
