really really neat photo

I captured this on June 8th in Boerne , Texas with an ES127 FCD100 and a QHY183m on a CGX mount and guided with an orion 60mm f4 and a QHY5III290 . The main camera was set for 8 second exposures and a gain of 24 ; but I had some driver issues that limited my total exposure time to less than 26 minut...

I finally got tired of the drift so I bought a guide scope and camera . Often times it didn't matter because SharpCapPro does such a great job of stacking ; but sometimes my targets were too big and too close to the edges .
