Description

120 stacked images taken with Meade LPI and 2x barlow. Image prosessed with Registax. This is one of the first images I took with my 10" scope and LPI. I had not intended on taking any images that night but I was there and it was fairly clear. I am still learning all the software so I am sure these will get better.
