Description

Pretty good seeing last night from my backyard so I decided to search through my re-imaging observing list and pick out a few interesting objects that could benefit from a smaller pixel scale.

This is the first I have finished processing. More to come, hopefully! Beautiful spiral. Lots of detail in the dust clouds. The limiting magnitude of my sky limits getting the outer reaches of the galaxy, but all the brighter inner detail including some bluish knots that probably are O-B star associations are visible. Its a little noisier than I would like on account of light pollution, but still, lots to look at and ponder.

This is actually a stack of 3 live-stacked images (10 minutes each), each composed of 301 2 second exposures.
