Description

After some popup storms, the skies cleared with descent seeing and I was able to finally capture my primary target. I was fortunate to be accompanied by Nikita Misiura who was also imaging that night. His awesome software StarNet++ was used in the processing of this image.

This image was drizzled at 2x
