Description

Found some old data that never got published, this was one of the images I shot at my old location in bortle 7 skies with old equipment, think I discarded most of my data to start a fresh, I believe I wasn't happy with the stars on the image so had removed them

Taken with QHY9m will revisit this one for sure
