Description

Canon 7D Mark II 20-megapixel digital camera and 300 mm f/2.8 L IS II at f/2.8. Twenty seven 61-second

exposures at ISO 1600 were added (27.5 minutes total exposure) for the main image, then for the brighter core of the nebula, 4 32-second, 4 10-second, 8 4-second, and 6 2-second exposures. The short exposures were made into a high dynamic range image so that the core of the nebula was not overexposed. Total exposure time, including the core: 31 minutes. No dark frame subtraction, no flat fields. Tracking with an astrotrac.
