Hi All,
More from the new camera, taken on 5/1/13. Slight difference here is that I could only get an hour as wispy clouds ruined my fun. Also, processed slightly in Nebulosity and Startools only.
I'm having fun with this new CCD, it's lovely to see the histogram full after stacking in DSS.
Thanks for stopping by to take a gander
