Description

Still learning the ropes on wide-field imaging. I may need to upgrade to a different light pollution filter, since so much time was spent on trying to remove a heavy gradient generated by neighborhood lights. I've gotten a bit spoiled with the L-extreme filter, but can't use it with this setup.

This is a really interesting area of the constellation Auriga, with an assortment of emission and reflection nebulae, and open star clusters.
