Description

A couple of short sessions over two nights while getting a break between other goals for the evening.  Deeper than normal saturation to really bring out those bright stars.  Sometimes simple is best - the more I look at it, the more I enjoy it.

Some nice background galaxies too - only smudges or pixels but there to add a little extra none the less 

Thanks for looking
