Description

I managed to take 55 subs of this, but with an 85% moon, each at 5 minutes long exposure time. Most of the subs were bright blue because of the sky! I really wanted to take this image because I wanted to show more of the extent of the dark nebula... Actually, in hindsight, I think there is even more of it just off the screen - annoyingly - I will try again another day, with less moon! All in all I am quite pleased with the image. Integration time was 4 hours 35 minutes...
