Description

This image consists of two nights of data taken nearly a year apart. A year ago, I hadn't quite figured out a good way to take decent flats so some dust donuts are still visible. The data taken last month was during a nearly full moon and the gradients where a pain to process out but all in all, I'm happy with the way this turned out. I'm pleased with the progress I've made in the last year as far as acquisition and processing goes.
