Description

A two-panel mosaic created in Pixinsight comprising M8, M20 and NGC 6559 taken with the ASI1600 in RGB. Approximately 20, 60-second sub-exposures for each channel for each panel. Taken in early June. One of my first images with the ASI1600 and first mosaics with Pixinsight. Taken from 20 miles outside NYC in the very light polluted suburbs of Westchester County, NY.
