I took this at Wiruna in November. Scope was set up for 6 x 10min subs and I went off and had some red. When I came back after the hour, the computer was dead--then I remembered I had tripped over the cord earlier, so I must have disconnected the power and so the computer battery ran out, so only the first 3 subs were guided. (Stupid trick #43)

So details:
Scope: WO ZS110 Apo
Camera: Canon 350D
3 x 10min subs at 800ISO
Focussed with Bahtinov mask and Nebulosity, guided with PHD
Stacked in IP and processed in PS
flats, darks, bias.
