Description

There really hasn't been much in the way of clear skies this winter. A couple of nights here and there, I've managed to capture a couple of targets. I've never done a wide field image of this region before, so using the little SpaceCat51 was a perfect choice for the task. Not a super deep integration, but fun to work on nonetheless.
