Description

I took advantage of the recent clear skies and managed 59 subs at 5 minutes long each - just under 5 hours integration time. On this particular night the sky was really quite murky, and almost at the point of being too poor for an object like this, bearing in mind the heavy light pollution here anyway. Most subs were sub-standard! But, I take what I am given and I managed to tease out of the data what I could. It was tough to process... As we are now in the galaxy season, this was taken with my usual Hutech LPS filter - my new duo-narrowband filter only being of use for nebulae of course. I used my Canon 700Da at ISO 800, through my 8" reflector.
