Description

Exasperated by all of the poor weather that we have experienced lately I decided to try to combine 5 of my past images of this beautiful galaxy into one image. The resulting "Frankenstein" image was created with 3 separate ZWO's non cooled cameras, a color 385mc, and 224mc, as well as a mono 290 camera. I used two different telescopes, an Apertura 6" f4 as well as a Celestron Omni 6" f5 Newtonian. Due to the fact that the orientation of my cameras were different each time, I had to crop this image tighter than I had wanted to nevertheless I was pretty happy with the results. I used a Celestron AVX mount, without the benefit of autoguiding, due to the very short exposures that I generally use (16 seconds and less). The total exposure was just about 15 hours and I hope that you enjoy it!
