Description

2 hours of 1 minute subs at 1600 ISO. It wasn't enough, so I went back and added 2 more hours of 2 minute subs. Still, I had to stretch the data to the max to bring out the heart. I've never seen as many stars though!

Description: Second night session only with sixty 120 second exposures.

E

Description: Both nights combined for four hours total integration. I had to oversaturate the red to bring out the heart because the star field is so bright. I may actually prefer the second night's image alone. I don't know.

F

Description: Enhanced version of the second night's data alone. I think this is my favorite and final as I move on to try it's neighbor, the Soul Nebula tonight!
