Description

So I shot this last year and it was the second target I ever did. I didn't bother uploading as it was nothing to special. I was impressive to me as a newbie, but that's about it. I do like how this turned out minus the diffraction spikes that show up on two stars. I believe its from something somewhere in my optical assembly. I will likely take everything apart and clean it in hopes of removing this optical defect. 

I hope you enjoy this version of the photo. It doesn't really need much of an introduction as its one of the most highly photographed regions of space by astrophotographers.
