This image was taken through a full moon period and near downtown Tucson. This is the first image I have done in which I constructed a mosaic of a deep sky object. I would say that this first attempt was a success! NOTE: The actual resolution of this image is 4375 x 3265, but has been reduced here to save space. http://www.angelfire.com/stars5/tschonis/
