Description

I captured this on reasonably dark night with decent transparency and ok seeing from my backyard. Late at night, I swear it gets darker as porch lights go off. Maybe just my imagination. Tuned-up color balance and contrast to pull out the dark nebula. Should try this again under a dark sky under and better seeing and stack a few 10-minute live stacks. The contrast with the star background would be so much better. Nothing to do about my small field of view though!
