Description

Raw frames courtesy of Deep Sky West Remote Observatory in New Mexico, USA. (deepskywest.com) Data obtained with FSQ 106EDXiii / QSI683wsg / Lodestar / Paramount MyT.

21 hrs total integration (19x300s R, 14x300s G, 18x300s B, and 55x900s L). The palette is RGB with Luminance channel for detail.

Certainly is more detailed, especially on the IFN, than the image obtained from my backyard.
