Description

Compiled from the best of several summer 2023 sessions of 180, 300 and 600 second exposures.  Shot in two northeast locations, inland Massachusetts and Long Island's coastal north fork.  All frames captured via Idas NBZ filter (Ha and OIII nebula booster).  Stacked & liberally post-processed with Pixinsight tools.

Backfocus was a bit off during one session so got some stretchy stars in the corners.
