Description

Here we are in galaxy season and my trusty RedCat is starting to feel...diminutive. With four hours of exposure this one feels like just barely enough. Joey Troy was shooting exactly the same patch of sky with just the same number and duration of subs, but in mono, and combined my data with his for something close to eight hours. Here's a link to the combined data: https://www.astrobin.com/48lle5/
