Description

This is actually 6 live-stacked 150x2 second images which I in turn stacked in DSS to get a total of 30 minutes integration time. The sky developed some thin clouds shortly after completing the 6th exposure, so I am note sure that I might have had some transparency issues starting to develop during the exposure sequence. Still, decent detail and hints of a larger halo. The moon was just rising too, which might have compromised things a bit. I really need to repeat this at a dark sky site or with a LPS filter (its on order!)
