I have been working on collecting data for this image for several months. The aim was to obtain an image which not only showed the galaxies in detail but the galactic cirrus too. At this point with a little over 7.5 hours
and as pointed out by Mike below there is no cirrus in the area. Perhaps it is a gradient. Although it might just be dust and gas between us and the star. (edit added later)
Overall I am pretty happy with the look of the image but I want to get another 5 or so hours yet to complete the image.
For image statistics look below the image.
