Description

Finally, after 4 years and different scopes and 4 different cameras, I finally accumulated enough time on this. ???? RARE I can see it during the winter because it's our cloudy season, so it's taken some time. I might get 5 clear nights all winter. I would peck at it as I had the chance and finally stacked them all. Rasa 11 and 152mm APO, some 80mm apo with ASI533... it's been a hodgepodge of gear. Rasa 11 with 094 OSC and 152mm with 094 and 1600mm. I've lost track of the details... just kept throwing subs in a directory and finally thought it's worth a try to stack again since my previous year was a bit weak in results. I stack in (APP) lights only and then post-process in Photoshop as is normal for me.

Lots of various exposures (shorter for the hot spots) and longer for the dust. I'm sure I could show more detail in the far left dark area with even more time. Another year?
