Description

This photo was taken at home some weeks ago, and I used my modified Canon DSLR with my 3" refractor. I took 43 subs at 4 minutes long each, all at ISO 400. The light pollution here is a nightmare, so this is all I could capture of the nebulosity. I really like the starfield though, especially the little star cluster [NGC 2158] above M35! Generally speaking I will now only be taking star fields and brighter objects from this location, and leave the rest to the remote set-up in Spain.
