Description

Captured during my recent trip into the Empty Quarter in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula. A seven day trip into Bortle 1 skies. Not primarily an astronomy trip but I couldn't not take the 'scope. Limited imaging time as I had to get back in the driving seat each morning.

120s (3 hours) and 10s subs (10 mins), Gain 100, Cooled to  Zero degrees, guided and controlled with AAP
