Description

A bit of a choppy background but beautiful details in the galaxies which is what mattered most to me here. I had to crop a lot to get this nice field of view as my telescope only has 655mm of focal length and I am using a full-frame camera, so the galaxy appeared tiny!

22.5 hours total in RGB.
