Description

The most original target of the year, I know... but it's my first time shooting this object!

Shot this without any filters from my Bortle 8 skies and learned a lot along the way. I was quite surprised how short the exposure length was at f/2.8 without any filter. I stopped my lens down to f/5.6 for the second night beacuse my computer was having issues stacking such a huge number of files. 

Seeing was not great, with lots of clouds running through on both nights. It made the image a bit glowy. But I kind of like the effect.
