Description

Taken June 8, 2008 from the summit of Kitt Peak! Takahashi FSQ106N Celestron CGE SBIG ST-2000XM Schuler 9nm FWHM H-alpha filter All subframes 10 min binned 1x1. Total = 4 hrs. Processing: All reduction and combining performed with AIP4Win. Processing in Adobe Photoshop CS. Included rounding out the stars. Star elongation occurred in the orginal image due to 40+ mph wind gusts on the summit. My CGE is usually rock solid, but small 3 pixel errors occurred in guiding during wind gusts.
