Description

Taken on February 1, 2016 from my back yard. I'm going through older images and reprocessing them since the weather has been so poor.

I used a Baader modified Canon 450D and Celestron 8" SCT with f6.3 reducer, mounted on an AVX. Guided with 60 mm ZWO, Meade DSI, and PHD. Two hours and forty minutes of 4-minute subs @ISO1600, stacked in DSS and edited in Photoshop CS2.

Alnitak sure did play havoc on the left side of the image. There must have been some internal reflection going on in the SCT.
