Hi all. I got another clear night last night so I decided to try a little more imaging with the new scope. I went for an easy target because of the light pollution at my location. Here is the result.

Tak Epsilon 160 on Losmandy G-11
ST2000XM with Astrodons
MaxIm and Photoshop
39 minutes luminance (13x3min) binned 1x1
12 minutes each RGB binned 2x2 (4x3min)

Thanks Jim.

There are two galaxies at the 3 o'clock position, there is a large one (NGC6207) that is far away, and the very small one that is much closer. I don't know its designation. There is also a small one visible near the blue star at 9 o'clock.
Cheers,
Tyler
