Description

9 hours of data from our September beach trip to Sunset Beach, NC. Relatively dark site but ocean haze and a bit of moon added some challenge. Fun to grab data for a couple of targets that are too low to image from home. I wasn't sure how well my deck-based setup would work since I could feel the house move from the wind, but overall not too many problems. Would be fun to image this with a smaller image scale than the 80mm refractor, but that was a compromise for travel.

Description: Zoomed in and took down the red a bit. I like these colors better, and since the galaxy is the star of the show, might as well make it a bigger part of the field.
