Description

This image data was taken during two semi-clear nights in April from northern California.  Until the El Nino is gone it won't be a normal sky.  The idea was to see if we could show the tail of "The Hamburger" galaxy ... and keep the detail in all the galaxies.  The dynamic range in this image is crazy.

Taken with the SV SVX 180mm f/7 refractor,  ZWO 6200 MM, and Chroma filters from my house in Foresthill, CA.  No "AI" was used for this image.

We used 1200 minute subs for the RGB ... a total of 7 frames each.  Processing with CCDStack and Photoshop CS.
