Description

Finally a brief window of clear skies again. Our appgroup went wild!

I decided to go for this classic DSO again, I had shot it last year with the redcat 51 and I wanted  more magnification power with the Askar FRA 500 and try and extract more detail, without cropping. I had to thrash a lot of subs because of trees that obstruct the south view from my backyard, but the final images were still usable for stacking and processing.
