Description

This was a fun challenge!

Decided to try and go after a "southern hemisphere" target from the northern hemisphere. Rising to only to a peak altitude of 21 deg, it was tough to get enough frames above the light dome and remove the gradients from the resulting photo. To make things even harder, the reflection/dark nebula meant I had to shoot in broadband without filters.

Not the best shot you'll see, but I had a lot of fun going after a target off the beaten path.
