Description

I forgot about the overhead power cable that goes to a shed and my obs, which was in the way for the L frames leading to diffraction spikes on the brighter stars. Oh well, i noticed too late and haven't had chance to reshoot this yet.

L - 28x600s; 30x60s, 30x30s and 48x10s

R - 20x300s;I had to reject all the 180s subs

G and B - both ended up with 24x300s and 34x180s
