Description

This image is a total of 2 hours 30 minutes of imaging time.  Imaging was done over multiple nights from my backyard.  I use APT for the acquisition and PHD2 for guiding on an older laptop.  The image is a mix of three and six minute subframes, with some darks and flats used for stacking.  I filtered down the best light frames to use in DeepSky Stacker.

While not a lot of integration time, this image is my first attempt at astrophotography.  From the lengthy learning curve of the equipment and software to learning some basic post processing.

Description: I added a significant amount of data (7 hours 56 minutes) to the original. Along with some new skills in the post processing area, this is a big step for me.
