Description

This image was shot over the course of 4 evenings. Total integration time is about 10 hours. In future photos, I plan to get more detailed in the number of exposures. These were 4 minutes subs and I used 20 darks, 20 flats, and 40 bias frames in my DSS stack. I took different flats for each evening of shooting just in case new dust/pollen was introduced into the imaging train. I also uploaded an attempt at a Hubble palette color combo as well.
