Description

This is a three frame mosaic from the Galactic Dark Horse Nebula to the head of Scorpius.  The lens was stopped down to f/2.0.  Each segment consists of 15 sub-frames.  This is a challenging target at 45N.  In addition, July is very late in the year from this latitude so the image suffered due to the very low altitude.  I hope to try again this upcoming May.
