Description

One of my biggest projects to date, this one took nearly two weeks to complete, and about 24 hours for my computer to process all the data. I photographed it for probably around 18 hours and then weeded out numerous bad sub-exposures manually and then let the computer pick the best 14 hours of exposure/data to get what we see here: The Triangulum Galaxy, 2.7 million lightyears from Earth.
