Shot this earlier this month as I was waiting for another object to get high enough to shoot. Wasn't going to post it as I didn't take the correct length dark frames. I ended up scaling some older darks. Not as good but it worked OK. I didn't have a whole lot of time invested in the data anyway.

Robet,
That's a really nice image. And only 40 minutes with scaled darks. Nice job.
