Description

Dedicated my title to a post on cloudy nights in 2014 from ManicSponge titled, "Hunting elephants when it's 10 degrees outside" Here is a link to his image: http://www.astrobin.com/136487/C/

This is one of my longest exposures I've tried so far. I am really starting to appreciate the longer exposure times and how much cleaner the image is after integration.



I've also started to do full calibrations nightly, I think i will always do this from now on as it does not take much longer and it basically removes all strange gradients from stacking.

Enjoy the Hunt!
