Description

Taken with nothing but my camera and 150mm zoom lens. The original is actually about 20 minutes more exposure than the final image. The problem was that it was sinking into a light dome in the west as I was imaging. Removing the final three subs removed enough of the light pollution for the nebulosity to appear. So, in this case anyway, less exposure turned out to be better.
