Description

I'm rather pleased how this turned out.  This project took about 3 months due to the narrow view in my Southern Sky.  The sub-exposure length actually widely varies between 300s to 60s because of the various conditions on each night, but the total integration time is accurate and I'd estimate the average sub-exposure time is around 120s.  If you look closely you can see satellite trails that weren't fully processed out by APP.  This area of the sky at my latitude was riddled with satellites, but I wasn't going to delete precious subs given my limited access to this target.
