Description

This began as 94, 60-second exposures and was pared down to just 54 frames due to over 40 frames with satellite and space junk trails. Collected with an AstroTech AT130EDT with a brand new ASI2600MC Pro. This was a first image for that camera. No additional filters were used, only the UV/IR Cut filter that comes in the camera. Carried on a Skywatcher EQ6R Pro mount controlled with ASIAir Plus and guided with a AstroTech 60mm guide scope and ASI120 camera.
