Description

I took this during an extended (3 day) spell of clear weather with no moon. Apart from the obvious dust motes, I am pleased with the level of detail captured in just 70 minutes integration time. My autoguider behaved impeccably recording just 1.03" RMS - the best yet - and focus was retained throughout the exposure.

Description: A higher resolution image processed using Penumbra v0.6 - the data is clipped to darken the background, losing the outer edges of the galaxy, HDR enhanced and gently sharpened. I'm amazed at the level of detail given the photons have travelled over 30m LY.

Description: Reprocessed in Startools to bring out a little 'natural' colour, and detail using deconvolution and sharpening. 'Healing' applied to tighten surrounding stars.
