Description

This is my favorite deep sky object and despite hating mosaics, really wanted to get a well-framed image of it with my scope.

Taken from my home in Canton, MI (red/orange zone). Most of the luminance was taken with less than half moon, but the color was taken between half and full moon.

This is a 2-panel mosaic. Frame count is total, divide by ~2 to get per-panel frame count and integration time.
