Description

I hadn't planned on taking this shot but I had a couple of hours in the early morning after another subject, the Iris Nebula, disappeared behind some tree branches when I was at a cabin I rented for a night of imaging in Bottle 2 North Frontenac, Ontario. The moon was high and bright but I have little experience with dark skies so I thought my experience in Bortle 8 skies meant that this would still be worth shooting. And it seems to have worked out. This is a little shy of 2 hrs integration.
