Total integration time: 30.5 minutes. Collected 60 minutes but conditions were deteriorating rapidly. 50 Darks,
Deep Sky Stacker, Star Tools. Simple post-processing: stretch and crop, no sharpening or noise reduction.

Nice image Brian - some detail in the nebulosity as well. It just shows what can be done with stacking many shorter exposures.

Thanks Dave. The TIFF file has greater dynamic range than this PNG which gives a muddy appearance.
