Description

Nice improvement from last year's run at M42. In 2016 I had about 1.5 hours of exposure on a Nikon D700, which at the time, I thought turned out amazing. 6.8 hours on an ASI 1600mm-cool just blew that out of the water.

Course, now I'm spoiled with long lots of exposure time, and am going to have to buy a house somewhere darker
