Description

Pleasantly surprised how this one turned out. I have been curious about this target for a while but wasn't sure what to expect with my DSLR and suburban sky. Shot this at the start of several nights while waiting for my main target to get a bit higher in the sky. Wouldn't have been my first choice of framing but didn't want to mess with camera position which was set for my main target. Now I'm tempted to spend some time on other parts of this nebula such as Pckering's Triangle but that may have to wait for another season at this point...

Original is an example of single uncalibrated sub from the DSLR.
