Description

I captured this from my bortle 8 sky with a newly modified Canon 6D and an Optolong L-extreme filter. I kept the exposures to 2 mins each so as not to blow out the centre of the nebula. I am fairly pleased with my first attempt with the new gear. This is a cropped version of an earlier image I posted. I think it shows the best close up perspective.

90x2min @1600ISO. MOD: LPF-2 Filter removed only.
