Description

I took 10 images of this area in 2019 using a 130mm refractor and a reducer. The nebulae just did fit in the field of view of my Canon 6D MKII sensor. The images were shot at ISO 800 for 180 seconds. They were stacked with DSS and processed with Photoshop. No flats or bias frames were used. Had some tracking errors on my images the last few times I went out and come to find out that the dec. motor drive gear was slipping. A bolt had loosened up over time and I did not notice this until just lately so the gears were not engaged. Dang!...so this is why my stars were bloated a bit in my last few imaging sessions including this one.
