Description

This image, processed by/with @Terry Hancock is from subs of the first time I've photographed NGC1499. I typically travel hours (who doesn't?) to get to one of "my" dark sites, however, north was supposed to get cloudy on 12/4, and Transparency was wonderful that evening, so I set up in my Bortle-6 driveway and dialed in the L-Enhance filter. If memory serves me, DSS kept just under four (4) hours of subs.
