Description

193 subs captured over 2 months of this very difficult object - extremely low in the southern sky. Only visible above the tree line for about 3hrs per night. So captured over 5 or 6 different nights (and fighting clouds in between). This was also a 2-panel mosaic which I stitched together in PixInsight using GradientMergeMosaic.
