I like that one very much. Lots of faint fuzzies in the background. I'm gonna get one of those STL11Ks some day.

..... Even though it's only 2 hours total it does show some of the integrated flux nebulosity in the region. If I bring up the background the integrated flux really comes out ........
It wasn't that long ago that we processed the flux out as a gradient.
I'm glad to see that your weather is improving somewhat, Tom.
My regards,

dan

Great image Tomas, I see splochs all over the field..I heard of some dark clouds of nebula running through that area. You might have got them.
