I know this DSO has been done to death but I did it anyway.
After missing the opportunity last year I plan to gather as much data as I can on it this year & put it behind me.
All frames were captured last night, seeing was good but of course my new neighbor had his floodlight on all night as usual.
18 x 600sec exp.binned taken with SBIG 8300C, William Optics FLT 98 @ F5, acquired & stacked with Nebulosity IV, processed in Photoshop CS2, autoguiding with PHD.
Some long stars in the corners & black is a little clipped. Colour saturation may not be to everyones taste but please feel free to comment &
thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Tony
