Description

This was a testing project to see if photographing galaxy is feasible in my white zone. It is a surprise when stacked master came out. The picture is acceptable even though it is not as efficient as taking it in dark site. Most of all, it is so convenient to shoot in backyard:-)

I used my QHY-168C with a Baader UV/Moonlite filter. Also I shot them in new moon, this helps a lot. I am not sure if taking this under moonlite will work, it could be a project in future.
