About
A composite of 26xL 5xR 7xG 9xB two minute exposures thru my Meade LX200 telescope using my Meade DSI Pro imager. The individual captures were calibrated using bias frames, dark frames and flat frames and then stacked and processed using Stark Labs' nebulosity and Adobe's Photoshop software. The telescope was guided during the exposures by an Orion 80mm Short Tube telescope with a Meade DSI imager driven by Stark Lab's PHD autoguiding software. All light frames were taken through a set of Meade LRGB CCD filters. Light frames were imaged on November 1–2, 2008 between 11:46 PM and 1:22 AM near Ellenville, NY. The total exposure was 94 minutes.
