Description

Probably one of the most frustrating objects that I ever tried to capture, which was mainly due to weather. If it wasn’t humidity, it was clouds, rain or the scope just not behaving. But I guess that's astrophotography right, LOL.
Finally got around to processing it after learning how to use Pixinsight. I am definitely glad to finally have it completed and processed.  Thanks for viewing and Clear Skies!
