Description

Taken over two nights 4-7 and 4-8-2012, this object was between 38 and 40 degrees in alt. I do have additional 20sec exposures to try and integrate into the final image. This image consists of 71, 60" and 90, 30" lights. My i/r u/v cut filter was still on back order so the color balance was fighting me.

Stacked in DSS with 2X drizzle, I do not remember if I included calibration frames. I think that the Tele-Vue NP127is scope and the ASI-ZWO 533 MC-P camera did a good job of resolving this grand object.
