Description

Another cloudy month and another image pulled from the Telescope Live archives. I have wanted to shoot this target since I first saw it but it is very low and only there during the shortest nights of the year. I found 30 hours of data in the archive and decided to see what I could do with a deep RGB image. The data was shot from their Australian observatory in 2020 and 2021. Slightly different composition on each data set made this a challenge to stack cleanly. I hope you enjoy.
